Group 1 placegetter RULERSHIP (1) comes here off a break of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last prep over 5f at Turffontein Standside. Rates highly and should take some beating. CAPTAIN HINDSIGHT (4) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing second over 5½f at Turffontein Standside most recently. Well placed to make a big impression. Group 3 placegetter SHELDON (3) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on May 18 finishing eighth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 5f at Turffontein Standside. Good record at this journey with five wins and six minor placings from 16 starts and shapes as one to consider. Group 3 winner MOVER AND SHAKER (2) was below his best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside. Nicely placed to make amends.
