CALIDA took advantage of a drop in the ratings to finish a close-up third at a higher level last time. He was penalised 4 points but will appreciate this drop in class. MICKE'S BOMB is refitted with blinkers and warrants respect over this extended trip with in-form Piere Strydom booked. TRIED AND TRUE caught the eye in KZN in her first start for this stable with this headgear fitted. Veterans WRITTEN IN STONE and DARK TIDE continue to acquit themselves admirably and should make their presence felt again. Keep safe COUNT YOUR CHANCES.
