Lay-off last start when third over 1m1 3/4f at scottsville, beaten 2.25 lengths. Unbeaten in two starts at the third run in so he looks very hard to beat. VIVA SPIRIT (4) returned from a lay-off last start when third at Turffontein Inside over 1m. Goes to a synthetic track for the first time. Solid credentials. PIRATE PRINCE (2) has not won for a long while. Last raced on July 24 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at Scottsville over 1m1 3/4f. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways. ABERDEEN (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.2 lengths from the winner in second over 1m at this track. No surprise to see him in the frame.
