CARTAGENA caught the eye when a fast-finishing 3rd over 2000m on her return from a break and this longer trip will be more to her liking. She is drawn wide but weighted to be competitive. SILVER FLARE and PLAY WITH FIRE are closely matched on recent form and also favorably treated by the conditions. CHABAL was 2nd over track and trip last time and should have a say in the outcome off an unchanged mark. Recent maiden winner GREEN MACHINE has enjoyed going 2000m and could have more to offer over this extended trip on handicap debut. Stablemate SPECIAL STAR fits a similar profile so is respected.
Slow-lost 2 lengths when 33/1 and 5th of 12 runners, 5.00 lengths behind INSTANT ATTRACTION over 2000m at TURFFONTEIN STANDSIDE on 16 May 26. Could do better w/MR drop.

J-not striding;V-ND when 5/1 and 3rd of 6 runners, 3.20 lengths behind GREEN MACHINE over 2000m at TURFFONTEIN INSIDE on 07 May 26. 2kg better #6, dark horse.
