Plenty of pace from Never Never Land and Amandla Ngawethu, with the added uncertainty of the several unraced runners engaged. GONNA CATCH YOU (2) is an unraced son of Vercingetorix from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Craig Zackey booked to ride. If not in need of the outing, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. NEVER NEVER LAND (5) produced an encouraging debut effort over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course. He would have gained from the experience and should like the extra 200m on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, he should be competitive. AMANDLA NGAWETHU (1) has run fair races in his last two starts have been fair. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth in his last outing has come out and won since. He will be at peak fitness and can place. MY LUCKY CHARM (4) is a three-year-old colt by on debut. Keep safe in this field and use the market is the guide.
