In depth

Verdict

Brand New Cadillac ended last year with course and distance success but Gary Alexander’s charge may well need this first outing since October and HIGHLANDER is preferred. This looks easier than his recent tasks and a repeat of last month’s second over today’s trip at Turffontein should see him bang there at the finish. Mighty And Magic was placed over a shorter distance here recently and Kurt's Approval has place claims though Village Deep’s best recent efforts have come over longer trips.
