Genuine pace with Roland Garros finding the front from his low draw. VOORLOOPERTJIE (4) performed above expectations last time over 1500m at this track, getting the prize by 0.8 lengths. Rates highly on latest effort and drawn for a soft run off speed again. Can go on with it. TOUCHED BY ANGELS (13) scored last start at this track to make it two wins and two placings from four starts this campaign. Sure to measure up again. DELTA PRIDE (16) has been racing in great heart including a last start third over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BEWARE (1) was midfield in the Grade 1 Cape Guineas last time behind Jan Van Goyen who races earlier in the card. Was a winner the start prior and wouldn't shock to see him bounce straight back in this far easier company.
