Craig Zackey climbs aboard with is a huge scoop for the connections. He is exposed at this level which does not get much weaker in Cape Town but he is due a reward. His profile and recent form suggests that he will be bang in the hunt and with some luck, he could gain a morale-boosting victory.

He did his best work late last time to finish fifth, just over a length behind Hiawatha Goldberg.

Act Of Grace and Kliptown are the unexposed runners in the race who could have more to give in the future. They are three-years-old and they could take a step forward against this tried and tested competition. Both are worth keeping an eye on.

Brown and Piechulek combine with the already mentioned Hiawatha Goldberg in race 7 over 1000m. Most of his career saw him compete over much further but since Brown dropped him back to sprints, he has come alive.
