The pace looks very strong with plenty of pressure on from the word go. SPY STORY (2) is a 16-start maiden who has been in the money four times, Could only manage fourth last time out over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Has recorded three top-three finishes from 11 runs at this venue. Among the leading players. PAGE BOY (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter and can feature. CHARIOT OF FIRE (3) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish tenth at the latest run over 1400m at this track. Among the chances while fresh. HONG KONG LUCKY (5) returns from the paddock after running in a small field on debut missing the frame by 6 lengths at Turffontein Inside over 1200m. Rates a place chance.
