AFRICAN PRIDE has a bit to find at the weights but is still improving and most effective over this trip. He is engaged to run a week earlier but with any improvement will be hard to beat if taking his place in this. WINDS OF CHANGE is slung in under the conditions and needs only to confirm the improvement of his last start to pose a threat in his peak outing. I'M A FIREBALL fits a similar profile and is open to further progress on his Highveld debut. TRAJANUS impressed when an easy winner in this headgear configuration last time. He seems capable of raising his game to have a say in the outcome.
