BEIJING BOSS (3) is a two-start maiden who was close to a win before a three months break, finishing off with a minor placing at this track (Dirt). Expect he has come on over the break. Looks the one to beat. BORROWED TIME (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 6f at Ellis Park, beaten 12 lengths into fifth. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is a major player. BLAKE JAMES (2) settled well back on debut last start and failed to threaten when eighth over 7f at Ellis Park (Dirt). Likely to improve on that last effort. XAVI (5) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 20 lengths away in tenth over 1m at Ellis Park. Well placed to make amends.
