This appears a match-race between CUSTODIAN and GRISELDA - both are decent sorts. The former showed vast improvement on debut and should contest the finish. The latter has 3kg less to shoulder and will know more about it. Boxed Exactas look a decent bet. LANZAROTE should take home minor money.

On current form, NIGHTSHINE rates the one to beat. However, respect money for newcomers THE BRONX BULL, SPEED STORM and WORLD ATTRACTION.

BALULE has been placed in all 3 starts to date and has a bright chance to exit the maiden ranks. QUEVENO attracts money and could prove worth following again. HIGHWAYMAN HARRY is looking to challenge and is a must for Trifectas. Others are looking for minor money.

Leg 1 of the carryover Pick 6 estimated to reach R3 million. Improving KNOWMORE still showed signs of inexperience when staying on to finish 3rd over 1600m, suggesting this extended trip with added experience under his belt will suit. ROYALE JACKET and VIXENINTHEVINEYARD have shown enough to be competitive and their superior experience stands them in good stead. The latter holds SHADOWLINE on recent form, though that rival is dangerous to discount under a 4kg claimer. SCARLET O'HARA is open to any amount of improvement over this distance after a pleasing sprint debut.

WILLIAM ROBERTSON looked back to his best when winning in KZN last time under a rider with whom he has forged a potent partnership. ZIYASHA also returns to the Highveld after a satisfactory trip to the Western Cape. Highly rated TAXI TO THE MOON confirmed the improvement made after he was gelded by winning over track and trip last time, and a resultant 3-point penalty isn't likely to halt his momentum. MOUNT PINATUBO resumes after a layoff but riding arrangements suggest he is the pick of the Van Vuuren stable's coupling. COSMIC STAR and best-weighted ELEGANT ICE can get into the picture too.

Leg 1 of the Wilgerbosdrift SA Triple Tiara. Equus Champion 2yo filly GOLDEN PALM sets the standard and is weighted to win. However, she has a length to find on LOWVELD LILY on the form of their meeting in the Cape Fillies Guineas. HAZY DAZY won a course-and-distance Grade 3 last time out and that form was franked by runner-up CHARGE IT subsequently winning a Listed race over 1800m. Both are genuine Triple Tiara candidates as they are bred to improve over further. Last-start winners WARM RECEPTION and LITTLEMISSMILLION fit a similar profile so shouldn't be underestimated either.

TRUST was a beaten short-priced favourite last time over 1400m but a return to this trip, over which he won a course-and-distance Grade 2 on 2kg better terms will suit so he's taken to turn the tables on both SPLITTHEEIGHTS and ONE EYE ON VEGAS. Those rivals are unexposed over this extended trip so they could improve further to fight out the finish once more. Last-start winner TIN PAN ALLEY also has the form and experience over this distance to make his presence felt. Stablemate GRAND EMPIRE, East Cape raider ALL SYSTEMS GO and recent course-and-distance winner RADIO STAR can also have a say.

CALLMEGETRIX produced a career-best performance when winning a similar course-and-distance race without the blinkers last time under the same rider, and she'll be hard to beat again with a repeat of that effort. TEXAS RED and SON OF RAJ are held on that form so a bigger threat to the selection could come from GREATERIX who will appreciate the step up to this trip in his peak outing. Consistent WILLY MEET AGAIN and last-start scorer TAEGAN'S CHAMP have found their niche racing with blinkers fitted, and both have the means to have a say in the outcome on current form.

TROMBOLINES wasn't disgraced under a big weight over 1700m last time and cutting back to this trip with 4kg less to shoulder will play to his strengths. Hard-knockers KUDZU and DECEPTION PASS have the form and experience to mount a serious challenge, though a bigger threat will likely come from unexposed ERROL FLYNN who is open to any amount of improvement after an impressive comeback win on his reappearance after gelding. WINSTON'S WONDER also has scope for progress stretching out to this distance for the first time. MY LUCKY CHARM is an attractive outsider under a light weight.
