Plenty of pace from Phil The Fluter, Enchanted Royal and Blue Quartz matching motors ahead of Battle Ofthe Bulge. PHIL THE FLUTER (1) found one too good on the day over this distance last time. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Phelisile Mongqawa is booked to ride and he can shed his maiden tag. BLUE QUARTZ (5) ran a fair race over 1400m at Turffontein last time when finishing fourth of 13 at long odds. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. Has solid each-way claims. MYSTIC VISION (2) is better than his last start run over 1400m on this course would suggest. He finished third over this course and distance in his penultimate run. If finding the form of that run, he should be figuring in the finish. BATTLE OFTHE BULGE (6) showed good improvement in his stable debut over 1450m last start. Looks well placed here to find some form.
