CHAMPAGNE MAC (2) is the horse to beat after justifying favouritism in a BM70 at Greyville, beating Little Cracker by just over two lengths after a narrow fourth as favourite the start prior. His record at 1000m and strong association with S E Sesingi give him the clearest winning profile. CARTEL QUEEN (3) has a last-start fifth to tidy up, but her previous win at this venue over 1200m showed she is capable when the race falls her way, and the stable profile adds confidence. VICTOR RAIL (8) brings proven track-and-trip figures, with two wins and five placings from eleven starts, so his latest sixth is not the whole story. MEGHAN'S DIAMOND (6) arrives off a well-supported Mdn win at this track and had run second in FM MPLTE grade before that, though her unplaced 1000m record keeps her more in the place mix than as a dominant winning threat.
