Pace a scorcher, headed by Redlightgreenlight, Tenjiku and Mighty Eagle, closely followed by Winchester and Royale Jacket. RED AMBER (3) got up where it matters most to win over 1200m last time. She will love the rise to 1500m. She is a progressive type and should give the males a decent run for their money. TENJIKU (2) won a game race over 1400m at Turffontein last time. He returns from a spell which would have done him the world of good. If not in need of the run, he can follow up with another victory. MIGHTY EAGLE (1) was an easy winner of his last start over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. ROYALE JACKET (5) showed good improvement when second over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. Kobeli Lihaba retains the ride and if confirming his recent improvement, he can finish in the placings.
