AFRICAN PRIDE has a bit to find at the weights but is still improving and most effective over this trip. He is engaged to run a week earlier but with any improvement will be hard to beat if taking his place in this. WINDS OF CHANGE is slung in under the conditions and needs only to confirm the improvement of his last start to pose a threat in his peak outing. I'M A FIREBALL fits a similar profile and is open to further progress on his Highveld debut. TRAJANUS impressed when an easy winner in this headgear configuration last time. He seems capable of raising his game to have a say in the outcome.

This won't take much winning so any market support for newcomers JUST A WINTER and TREASURE STATE has to be taken seriously. GULF OF AMERICA and FIERY FROLIC need not improve much on encouraging recent performances to play leading roles - their experience stands them in good stead. POWER OF TIGER has shown enough to make her presence felt too.

LOVABLE is an attractive betting proposition after an eye-catching debut 4th over the same track and trip against male opposition in a lucrative maiden race that produced several subsequent winners. She would have come on appreciably with the benefit of the outing so it should pay to follow her progress. POWER OF PEARLS, SKY PILOT and HAMMER BLOW have the form and experience to trouble the selection. TROMBOLINES, TERRENCE, MASTER BUDDY and gelded SCENTED PATH are others likely to improve after satisfactory introductions. Watch the betting on newcomer TRACKSUIT DAVE.

THE PLAYBOY BOMBER has performed consistently up to 1600m and remains open to improvement over this extended trip which, on pedigree, should be well within his compass. JORDAN and VESUVIO are closely matched on the form of a recent 1800m meeting at this level. Both will play leading roles if repeating similar performances. SKITTLE SKIES and IMPERIAL MASTER had legitimate excuses for underwhelming recent displays, so they shouldn't be hastily overlooked. Returning GIMMEACHOICE completes the shortlist.

SPEEDMAN confirmed the promise of his 1160m debut victory by following up in a 1400m handicap. He remains open to improvement over this extended trip so is good value to remain unbeaten. RADIO STAR was outclassed in a 3yo Grade 3 last time but was subsequently gelded and shouldn't be taken lightly on his reappearance. Recent maiden winner TOMMY ATKINS and returning STEP INTO IT are also lightly raced 3yo geldings with scope for progress over this distance. Hard-knockers PAGE BOY and SPY STORY have the experience to trouble their younger rivals.

FOSTINOVO was touched off in a similar course-and-distance handicap last time when returning from a break. He would have tightened up since and needs only to repeat that performance to go one better. GLOBAL IMPACT didn't go unnoticed from the widest draw that day and should pose more of a threat to that rival on these terms. Last-start winners PEREGRINE FALCON and LEGENDARY ought to remain competitive under 3-point penalties, while READY SET FIRE is also best kept safe in his first go at this extended trip. MY LUCKY CHARM and OKLAHOMA SMOKESHOW appeal most of the remainder.

CALANTHA made no impression in the 1475m Grand Heritage last time but will relish the switch back to a sprint, especially this course and distance over which she has registered all 3 of her career wins. ELEGANTRIX, BLIZZARD SNOW and KOMATI RIVER are held by that rival on the form of their meeting in a Listed race over 1100m on Summer Cup day. TUSCAN ROMANCE is thriving on the Highveld so a 4-point penalty for her last-start victory is unlikely to halt her momentum. FROZEN FANTASY can't be discounted either.
