Not won for some time now and form has been a bit up and down of late; not disgraced when sixth at Turffontein last month; not hard to turn elsewhere.

Verdict
Secret Chord looks a decent option, and Master Christmas is a major threat to the tip. However, FRERE JACQUES gets the vote. He is bidding for his second course success and is no stranger to the winners' enclosure.
