ANCIENT EPIC (8) was prominent from the outset when second over 6f at Scottsville last time out. Athandiwe Mgudlwa has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Fitter and a likely improver. Group 2 placegetter CAPTAIN'S CHRISTY (9) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 2 lengths, over 6f at Scottsville. Big run is on the cards. SASHAY AWAY (6) was last at the races when she finished sixth over 7f at Greyville All Weather on July 16. Has switched to the Alyson Wright yard. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. CERTAINLY (3) bounced back last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 5f at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
