Probably the toughest race on the card and it may pay to go wide in exotic bets. BLINDFIRE is better than his last run and back at the track where he has produced his best form should give a good account of himself. TIME FOR CHARITY also has good form at this venue. She was beaten 0.80 lengths over 1200m last time and back over her best distance should have every chance. ORIENTAL BOUQUET's last run in yielding going is best ignored. She ran some fair races prior and must be taken seriously. JET CAT and NKANDLA GOLD are both capable of upsetting the principals.
