GLADATORIAN (2) returns from a break of four months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1m3/4f at Scottsville. Has a strong fresh record including three wins. Looks sure to be in the finish. MISS PLATINA (3) reunites with Muzi Yeni after scoring with ease over 1m3/4f at Scottsville last time. Has been in sound form this prep with two wins from five starts. Should be in the finish. MADISON VALLEY (4) last appeared when fourth over 1m2f in the G1 Summer Cup at Turffontein Standside four months ago. Worth plenty of thought. WINTER GAMES (1) made late ground and finished second last time over 7f at this track, beaten a nose. Must raise the bar but a big run will not surprise.
