Pioneer Square, Tee Dog and Snake Alley to take up the running at a decent tempo. PIONEER SQUARE (1) has good form lines to his credit. He was running on when third over 1600m on the Vaal Classic course last time. He jumps from pole position and if not in need of the run, he may find himself in the winner's enclosure. GRAN CANARIA (9) hails from the visiting Justin Snaith stable. He ran a decent race when second in his first run as a gelding. The son of Vercingetorix will strip much fitter and with luck in the running, he should pose a massive threat. WHITE SEAHORSE (6) drops back to 1400m and if keeping on a straight line, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest. AMANDLA NGAWETHU (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1160m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 3 lengths into sixth. Has his share of talent and is an each-way chance.
