BJORN IRONSIDE (6) 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 been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will prove tough to beat. NIGHT BOMBER (1) was a winner in a at this track then was competitive last time when fourth over 6¼f at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. WAR CHARIOT (3) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a fifth at this track two starts back then landed the prize by a nose last time out over 6¼f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. BLACK EGRET (4) has not won for over a year, the latest running second at Vaal over 6f. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the better hopes.
