Solid tempo with Santiago's Pride, Heroic Act and The Merciful the ones to roll forward. THE MERCIFUL (4) finished fourth of 10 over 1800m at Turffontein Standside last start when sent out at long odds. He looks well placed in this line-up to return to form. SANTIAGO'S PRIDE (1) is better than his last start run when finishing ninth of 11 over 1800m looks as he was reported to be not striding out. If finding the form of his penultimate run when finishing second of seven over 2300m as the odds-on favourite, should be figuring in the finish. STOP THE TRAFFIC (5) in what was his second run this prep finished fifth of eight over 2000m at Vaal last start when sent out at long odds. He will strip a lot fitter today and jumping from the inside gate should receive a soft trip in the running. Has place prospects. HEROIC ACT (3) resumes from a spell and jumping from an inside gate has place claims fresh-up. Include in combinations.
