GRAND APPEAL (1) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.4 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1400m at Scottsville. Placed only try course and distance. Makes plenty of appeal from the inside gate. ROYAL SWORD (6) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 2.5 lengths away in third last time over 1600m at Greyville. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. TAM'S KNIGHT (7) impressed last time with a 2.25 lengths win at Greyville over this journey. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be competitive. IBUTHO (8) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing tenth last time out over 1200m at this track. Change of rider to Keagan De Melo who has two wins when aboard. Must be respected.
