WAR EMPEROR (5) finished out of the money two starts back then he was always well out of his ground and was beaten 2.5 lengths when fourth over 1400m at Scottsville two-and-a-half weeks ago. Back in grade. Ready to win after a solid performance last time out. DANUBE (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Scottsville after being prominent at the bend. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. MUSIC IS LIFE (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Greyville All Weather, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. SLYTHERIN (3) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh. Capable of featuring prominently.
