Best-weighted GIMME A PRINCE finished 2nd to Charles Dickens in this race last year off his current mark but hasn't been seen since. However, Craig Zackey's decision to ride Dean Kannemeyer's charge instead of fitter, consistent feature-race performer AT MY COMMAND suggests the former is likely to acquit himself well on his reappearance. MONTIEN and QUESTIONING are unbeaten at this venue. The latter showed his form and well-being with a recent 1250m success so should pose a bigger threat to the principals. SUGAR MOUNTAIN and ZAPATILLAS should get closer to that rival over this extended trip.
