Solid tempo expected primarily from Vanakkam and Bright And Brazen. ANCHORAGE (1) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing seventh over 1200m at Vaal three-and-a-half months ago. Resuming in easier grade and placed 3/3 here. Expected to prove hard to beat. ALPINE JET (2) is close to breaking through after finishing third last start over 1000m at Vaal. Nicely placed to find winning ways. BRIGHT AND BRAZEN (3) was an emphatic winner last time over 1200m at Turffontein Inside with today's rider Mickaelle Michel engaged. This tougher but drops in weight and hard to fault recent form. Can make it three straight. JUST THE TWO OF US (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fourth over 1000m at Vaal. Best form is third-up so anticipating a bold performance.
