Hot early pace is on the cards with Gamer, Stop The Traffic and Dylan's Champ matching motors. DYLAN'S CHAMP (3) showed good improvement in his last start over 1700m on this course. Despite an awkward start, he set the pace before getting caught on the line. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and he can go one better. JOOST DROOCHSLOOT (7) produced a promising debut effort last start over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course when finishing second of eight when well supported. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. If not in need of this run he should be figuring in the finish. GAMER (1) is better than his last start run for fourth would suggest as he was reported to be coughing. His best form has come over this distance. He runs well for Raymond Danielson and can return to form. GIFT OF ROYAL (4) showed good improvement in his last start over 1500m on the Turffontein Inside course when finishing third of nine. Jumping from an inside gate has each-way claims.
