Impressive record here of three wins from five runs; out of the frame in the Mercury Sprint at Greyville, beaten just under 4l two months ago; down in class; has claims; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and he has won in classy company before.

Track has proven suitable before; finished ninth in the Mercury Sprint (Greyville) two months ago; this is a step down in class; if replicating best previous efforts could be in the shake up.

JET FORCE is a firm selection. He is chasing a third win over this C&D and finished runner-up in the Mercury Sprint last time. Gold Giboski poses a threat.
