KAMCHATKA (6) finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last start at this track over this distance. Has never been out of the money in three starts at this trip, including two wins. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. RUSSIAN ROYAL (4) is a last-start winner over the shorter trip of 7f at this track, getting home by a neck. Will appreciate the big weight drop so she is a leading contender again. JET TO THE SUN (8) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GLEE CLUB (5) turned in a modest performance when seventh last time out over 1m at Durbanville, beaten 5.5 lengths, after a win at Durbanville at the previous outing. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
