Good race featuring 5 last-start winners. WILLOW EXPRESS took advantage of a drop in the ratings to win consecutive 1600m handicaps, including his latest on this course. He won full of running that day so could defy a hefty 6-point penalty with just 53.5kg on his back. RUN FOR COVER beat subsequent Vaal scorer WE ARE THE LOGANS (1kg worse off) over track and trip last month and should confirm the form of that meeting on these terms. SOUTHERN BLAZE and TWO MILES WEST return from respective absences but should remain competitive off their revised marks. SEA ANEMONE and VIVA SPIRIT can earn too.
