Danube to take command

Gotta Go Eddie, trained by Mathew and Mike De Kock, he is selected as the best bet of the day.

Although he faces some formidable rivals, the gelding appears to be progressing well and is expected to be fighting out the finish.

Narrowly beaten in his last outing, Gotta Go Eddie finished strongly, which caught the eye, and with his lightweight, he should run a big race.

African Dusk

The main danger to him is African Dusk, trained by Garth Puller, who has performed admirably in his last two starts.

Expect a bold showing from the latter, as he remains a serious contender.
