Group 1 placegetter RULERSHIP (1) was beaten just a neck last start when second in a small field over 5f at Vaal at the first run of the campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at this track two starts back then scored by a neck as public elect last time out over 5f at Vaal. Chase Maujean scored on him last time and retains the ride. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. SILENT WAR (8) is racing well, scoring by a neck in a at this track then finishing a respectable fourth last time over 5½f at this track when not too far away. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should be involved in the finish. TROPPO VELOCE (6) finished 12th two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 5½f at this track, beaten just half a length. Capable of featuring prominently.
