A low draw is a definite advantage here on fast ground but it can only be a tentative guideline in a very competitive handicap. William's Well fits the bill for the TEAMtalk selection here after running into form a couple of outings ago. His draw is stall 4 should enable him to reverse the form with the inconsistent Blackheath and as a course and distance winner he has plenty in his favour today. Kissing Time and Hout Bay have fared only marginally better than Mungo Park in respect to the draw and will have their work cut out to figure in the finish if William's Well can get to the rail before the turn for home.
