Asian Delight, Ringho and Inspector James to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. ALESIAN BEAU (2) raced from a prominent position fresh-up over this distance at Turffontein last time and stayed on well o finish third. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Muzi Yeni retains the ride and he may find himself in the winner's enclosure. INSPECTOR JAMES (1) is better than his comeback run would suggest as he received a check at the start and was reported to be distressed. He would have come on from the run and if getting away to a clean start, he would not be a shock winner. WOENSDAG KOERANT (12) is an unraced son of Talk Of The Town from the Lucky Houdalakis stable with Craig Zackey in the saddle. He is related to two-time winner Sweetie Darling. If not too green in the running should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. FORCE PUBLIQUE (9) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Lucky Houdalakis. Pay to watch for any positive late betting moves.
