MOUNT PILATUS (5) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 5¾f in the G3 Merchants at this track, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. CHASING HAPPINESS (6) fought on to score a narrow win in Group 3 grade at this track over this trip at her last appearance on November 30. Will appreciate the big weight drop so she is expected to measure up again. JUST BE LEKKER (8) has not raced since she finished off last campaign with a strong win over 6f at Greyville six months ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the main contenders. BARBARESCO (1) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing 11th last start over 1m2f in the G1 Summer Cup at this track six weeks ago. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all four starts, including a win and must be respected.
