They should roll along at a decent clip in a true test for the milers. OLIVER TWIST (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second of 10 last time over 1600m at Fairview. Finds a suitable race and jumping from the inside gate with Richard Fourie in the saddle can find the winner's circle. KAROO GOLD (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Vaal, . Strips fitter and can bounce back to form. MO RIDGE (5) is back from a spell of six months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 12th over 1600m at Kenilworth. Nicely placed in this line-up and can place. SUPER CASANOVA (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at Greyville, finishing seventh of 10. Better than recent efforts would suggest and should be included in combinations.
