Multiple Group 3 winner ONE STRIPE (2) resumes from a lay-off of five months and comes here off the back of three straight wins. Same winning combination as last time and can measure up again. Cape Guineas winner SNOW PILOT (7) was well held in the Mercury Sprint won by Surjay over 6f at Greyville at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. Group 3 placegetter ALL OUT FOR SIX (4) is back from a lay-off of four months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 7½f in Group 3 grade at Kenilworth. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. Group 2 placegetter BJORN IRONSIDE (5) is a progressive three-year-old gelding who hasn't raced since finishing third over 6f in the G2 Umkhomazi Stakes at Greyville on July 28. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a lay-off in two starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Don't underestimate.
