Strong tempo assured with Rip Wheeler, Wish You Were Here and Cosmic Cap rolling to the front. STORMACT (10) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1000m at Vaal. That was a much improved run and looks to have come back well. Strips fitter and can feature. TIGER'S CAPTAIN (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1200m at Vaal. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LIFE IN COLOUR (8) stepped out on his debut over 1200m at Vaal three-and-a-half weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 7 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end. WILD AS THE WIND (4) is a first-starter by Rafeef from Snug As A Bug who has been an outstanding producer including winners at black type level.
