King Viserys and Legal Counsel will press forward, with one or more of the first starters possibly contributing to the strong tempo. GOLDEN DESTINY (5) resumes from a spell after having taken on winners in his last start. He produced a decent debut effort for third two starts back over 1200m at Kenilworth. He returns to maiden grade and if not in need of the run, he may find himself in the winner's enclosure. LEGAL COUNSEL (2) started at long odds on debut last start when finishing fifth over 1250m at this track. He should like the rise to 1400m and with Richard Fourie in the saddle there should be good improvement to come. WATER DRAGON (12) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second of 12 over 1600m at this track. This is an easier race and he rate well as a leading chance. ASINANTANGA (3) is a three-year-old gelding by Rafeef out of Zante stepping out on debut today. Expected in the finish.
