Well-related COOL GAMBLER made marked improvement after a rest and gelding to score over course and distance last time, and he could make a winning handicap debut with further progress expected. STATUS SYMBOL bounced back to form in his most recent outing and will be competitive if repeating that performance. EVENING PARADE acquitted himself well when last seen and has scope to improve on his reappearance. Last-start maiden winners RACHETTU (Highveld debut) and TREASURE STATE fit a similar profile so have to be respected. SANDS OF VALHALLA is another with earning potential.
