Anticipate Samuel Sharpe, Captain's Express and Comic Artist to set a strong tempo. SAMUEL SHARPE (1) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 2.25 lengths into second over 2000m at Turffontein Inside. Faces an easier assignment so he is ready to find the winners' list. COMIC ARTIST (6) is still a maiden after 10 starts. Managed to find the placings at this track two starts back before finishing fourth over 2000m at Turffontein Inside last time. Should be in the mix. HEROIC ACT (2) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Turffontein Inside, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 2000m. Finds a nice race and can get the job done. CAPTAIN'S EXPRESS (4) finished 8 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1700m at this track on May 4. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him.
