Hot pace certain with Anuschka's World, African Pride and Dame Of Trix keen to take up the running. AFRICAN PRIDE (1) finished third over 1160m at Turffontein Standside last time out following a determined win two runs back. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Leading contender. CIRCUMBENDIBUS (11) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just half a length away in third over 1000m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to take this out. CHAPBOOK (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. FORTRESS OF FIRE (13) has been freshened since a narrow win here latest. Racing well and can get the job done again.
