Lots of speed predominantly from Lulu's Boy, Phala Millions and In The Ether. LULU'S BOY (1) showed good speed last start to lead but was outrun late, finishing second of nine when well supported. Looks well placed here to go one better. IN THE ETHER (3) stayed on well when second over this distance at the Vaal last time. She has won once, finished second twice and third once from six starts over this distance. Has solid each-way claims. EMPRESS GAME (12) ran a good race when finishing third of 11 over 1500m at the Vaal last time out when well in the market. She has finished third twice from three starts over this distance. S'manga Khumalo retains the ride and she can finish in the placings. DANCING DORA (10) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second of 11 over 1450m at Vaal after missing the placings in her previous start. Nicely drawn and should prove hard to beat.
