Difficult opener to assess with no runners headed for stardom. RADU appears to have most to come and gets the nod from a good barrier position. COUNT YOUR CHANCES is maturing and could chase her home. POWERS THAT BE, A TOUCH OF SUGAR, BATIK and CONVOCATION are more to consider.

STRATOSPHERIC races in new surroundings and if not affected by the change in atmosphere should make a bold bid. NAZARE needed his first run as a gelding and the extra should be to his liking. STORM DOMINATER also tries further and could challenge. BIG FIVE is a trier and could add another pay cheque to his tally. CIRCUS LIGHTS could run into money if takes his place. KANIMAMBO could make the Quartet.

BROADLANDS has been threatening and could get her just reward from pole position. Many are looking to capitalise if she fluffs her chances. BREEZE OVER was hampered at a crucial part of the race last time and could make amends. He is coupled with newcomer AFRICAN DUKE - watch. AMERICAN BISCUIT is on the up - watch. BRONZE SWORD, QUANTIFIER, CHASIN and MANZ KNIGHT are looking for minor money.

Good race. DIESEL AND DUST finished nearly 2 lengths in front of TAMARISK TREE but is 1.5kg worse off - it could get close between them. TABEBUIA won his only try this track and trip and could double up. GOOD COUNCIL never showed in the Guineas last time but is better than that. TWIN TURBO, CALL ME MASTER, WHISPERS OF WAR, DESTINY OF SOULS and DUKE OF RAIN are not out of it.

LITIGATION won his only try over this distance and could double up. Stable companion NEBRAAS could run him down if a fast pace is set from the jump. Other inmate, PLATINUM SKY, cannot be ignored for money. Eight-year-old DIVINE ODYSSEY is doing well and will give them something to think about. Stablemate SECOND BASE could blow them all away if recaptures true form. Others are looking for minor money.

FLYING FIRST CLASS is holding form and could reach the 10-winner mark. BANHA BRIDGE was under no pressure when beating AFRAAD by 4 lengths, however, the 4.5kg penalty could reduce the deficit. EARL did well in his first attempt over a marathon distance and should give another decent performance. WHITE FANG found problems in his last two but could get back on track. BATTLEGROUND will be tested.

Mike de Kock could capture the Egoli Mile. He has ARIVIDICIO who was far from disgraced in the Tony Ruffel Stakes. Sean Tarry is looking to challenge with BILLY SPELLBOUND (probably stable elect) and SILVER HILLS. Ashley Fortune won't take it lying down - she has MERIDIUS along with troublesome TOTAL PROTECTION. JOHNNY DOGS wasn't disgraced in Cape Town and could make the frame.

FOREVER MINE won his only attempt at this course and distance when he beat INDLAMU by a neck. The latter is 1.5kg better off and could be a humdinger. OUTOFTHEDARKNESS found problems last time but should make his presence felt. Stablemate HOMELY GIRL is well treated. She is carded to race before this - watch. EXPRESSFROMTHEUS was not striding out last time and could get into the reckoning. Others are looking for Quartet money.

Interesting. Lightly raced maiden winners ROLL OVER REDROVER (won on the 2nd time of asking at 25-1), CELTIC RUMOURS (failed to win her post-maiden at odds-on when hampered by a slipped saddle) and VITELLIUS (won his 2nd start and first run as a gelding) are all capable of improving. FUTUREWOLFF will ensure they will be tested. THAMBI and HOUSTON are looking for minor money.

MOVER AND SHAKER claims 2.5kg which will lighten his load to 60kg and could go in again. TRE AMICI was backed to beat him then but was not striding out. The challenge is on at the same weights. SMITH AND WESSON is drawn a bit wide but could get into the fight for honours. ANIARA is no slouch and could go in again. IN THE ETHER ran below form last time.

Despite recording his last win in the boardroom, COOL WINTER doesn't meet a overly strong field and could go in again. However, ADMIRALTY ARCH has a strong finishing burst and could grab him late. SILVER CLOCK and SILENT WAR are looking to cause an upset.
