EL CAPITAN (11) is back from a lay-off of five months. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 7f at Scottsville. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Sure to be in the finish. GRIPEN (5) was ridden quietly then made some inroads and finished 2.75 lengths away in fifth last time out over 7f at Durbanville five weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. GREEN MILE (6) has been in the money five times including last start on April 2 when third over 1m at Scottsville. Goes well here with two top-three finishes to his credit. Has to be respected. KING CELTILLUS (3) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1m1f at this track. Can kick off with a bold showing.
