FLIGHT ENGINEER (1) switches to synthetic for the first time. Finished 7 lengths back in seventh on turf over 1200m at Fairview most recently. The testing material. BROOKSIDER (3) was always forward and boxed on to finish fifth over 1400m at Fairview last time. Should be prominent from the outset. Expecting a bold showing. CHIEF RUNNER (2) back from a brief spell and tackles a synthetic track for the first time. Opened last prep with a second at Scottsville over 1400m. Likely to measure up. GARDEN SUN (4) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 1800m at Kenilworth on December 11. Now under the care of new trainer Jacques Strydom. Makes plenty of appeal.
