Group 1 placegetter BARBARESCO (1) has been out of the placings in tougher races at his last two outings, the latest when eighth in stakes class in the G1 Champions Cup at Greyville. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. MASTERSHIP (2) was well held in the won by La Moohal over 1m1f at Turffontein Standside at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Has a high cruising speed. Leading contender. Group 1 placegetter GUY GIBSON (4) finished 5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 6f at this track when resuming from a lay-off. Steps up in distance. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Winning claims on best figures. QUATERMAIN (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m at Vaal, beaten 0.8 lengths. In the right race and is a key runner.
