Horse Chestnut Stakes winner MAIN DEFENDER (1) finished seventh when resuming last start, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1m at Greyville. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including four wins. Big class drop this time. Among the leading chances this field. UNZEN (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. THE AFRICA HOUSE (6) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. Multiple Group 2 winner BINGWA (2) was on a winning run of two races but last time out missed the frame when ninth over 1m in the G1 Gold Challenge at Greyville. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be thereabouts.
