THE OCTAGON has made progress in 3 starts since he was gelded and needn't improve much on his Highveld return to open his account, having finished 3rd in consecutive KZN appearances. CLIFFIE CLAVIN, after an improved 4th over 1500m, and likely improver OBSIDIAN, who wasn't disgraced on his 2yo sprint debut against winners, are the only dangers. BALLARINO, JABBERWOCKY and DESPINA have minor roles.
