MUFASA has won both of his career efforts to date in impressive fashion. He showed good speed last time, found another kick and drew clear of the opposition. The son of What A Winter returns from a 16-week break, during which time he would have strengthened up. He carries a big mass of 61.5kgs, but has class and should remain unbeaten. GRAPPLER has very good consistent form lines to his credit. He has won once, finished second once and third twice from as many starts on this course. The son of Trippi merits healthy respect. BRONCO BLITZ won a good race in his last start over 1000m on the Classic course. Gavin Lerena retains the ride and the combination cannot be ignored. WHAFEEF is better than his last start over 1450m on the Classic course. It must be noted that Al Muthana has come out and won again since. He may be at his best over this distance at this stage of his career and has plenty of scope.
