SUGAR MOUNTAIN (1) is progressing well this campaign. Opened with a fourth at this track two starts back then got the job done by a neck last time out over 1m at this track. The engagement of Aldo Domeyer is noteworthy. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is one of the main contenders. PACAYA (4) Group 2 winner. Met with solid support last start over 1m1 3/4f in Group 3 class at this track when second, beaten 9 lengths. Richard Fourie who has two wins when partnering stays on. Among the leading chances. RAPIDASH (2) Group 3 placegetter. Has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest seventh at this track over 1m. Worth another chance. LOVE IS A ROSE (6) Group 3 winner. Finished second last start over 1m1f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
