ASPECT has defied the handicapper by winning 5 in a row, the latest over this course and distance. He faces his toughest test yet under another 6-point penalty but could prove equal to the task, especially if allowed an uncontested lead. Last-start winners OLIVER, returning LUCE VERDE (gelded), ROSH KEDESH, on his Cape comeback, and INNAMORARE have the means to pose a threat, despite resultant penalties. MAURITIUS KESTREL ran on well from a hopeless position to finish an eye-catching 5th on his 1250m reappearance and could improve to challenge the selection with the benefit of that outing.
Baulked for a run when 4/1 and 5th of 12 runners, 2.10 lengths behind WAR CHARIOT over 1250m at DURBANVILLE on 28 September 24. Pleasing comeback, follow.
