Unbeaten at this course after two runs and has made an impressive start to his career with two wins from four starts; finished third when evens at Vaal last month; has to be feared.

Three-time course winner; good effort when close up in a stakes race at Greyville in July; certainly not out of it.

Useful in this grade; not disgraced in fourth in a stakes race last month; Craig Zackey a noteworthy booking; deserves respect.

Missed the frame (beaten 9l into eighth) off higher mark five weeks ago at Vaal upped to this trip; he has a shout as shown some ability on occasion and pick of his form stacks up well.

Gained narrow success in a handicap at Vaal upped to 1m1f in August; now competes off a higher mark; up in the ratings so one to tread carefully with.

Three-time course winner; towards the rear of 13 here over 7f (Grade 2) 19 days ago; now drops in class but only limited appeal.

Verdict
Firm preference is for MISSION TO MARS. He should be able to confirm placings with Hotarubi and Texas Missile and has won once over this C&D. Open Highway looks a decent option.
