CHIEFTAIN showed promise in a three-start juvenile campaign and is open to any amount of improvement on his reappearance having been gelded. JOHN WICK, NKANDLA GOLD, THE NAVY LARK and SECRET CHORD are closely matched on recent form and boast superior race fitness. Last-start winner PACIFIC, hard-knocker BREGARDT and LONGSWORD, even under 62kg, aren't without chances either.
