Santefisio is a consistent and genuine performer at this level on Polytrack though the trip looks on the short side. Royal Ridge was well beaten in a Grade 1 at Turffontein last March after scoring there over a mile earlier and he's also likely to find a couple of these too speedy. Firestreak is back on a fair mark but has never won on the surface and it's SILAAH who is well enough treated to take this. He hasn't won for two years but has dropped to a very fair mark as a consequence and his overall form gives him a chance at a fair price. Godolphin had a cracking day here on Thursday and have a strong representation in this. Ahtoug was just touched off on his only start here last March and ran well in tough handicaps at Goodwood and Ascot in the summer while Mysticism has been plying his trade in the USA and has won at Aqueduct and Gulfstream. Les Troyens ran well when last seen here in March and could prove best of the trio at this stage.
