Tricky. NUCLEAR FORCE is unbeaten in 2 starts over this course and distance (at a lower level) and is dangerous to discount, even on these terms, with just 50kg on his back. GOOD COUNCIL and TWENTY DRACHMA'S have also performed well over track and trip, and both are weighted to be competitive. Course-and-distance winners BATTLEGROUND, MAMBO COME TESIO and KADIZORA are consistent stayers with solid form credentials, which also applies to KZN raider QUANTIFIER whose trip north isn't for the scenery.
