Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 18)    

Good pace from Un Bel Di, Twenty One May and Ishnana and they'll have company. UN BEL DI (2) tried hard when third of seven over 1100m at Kenilworth last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. He has won twice and finished third once from five starts over this distance. He is likely to race on the speed and he may be the one to side with. MOJO MAN (5) won by a head last start over this distance at Greyville. He gets the services of the 4kg claiming apprentice Jacey Botes which will help his chances. He is in a good space and merits healthy respect. KALAHARI ROLLER (1) was a winner two runs back at this track over 1000m then was competitive last time when finishing a close-up fourth of 12 over 1000m at Greyville. He has a solid record at this distance with three wins and two placings from seven runs and jumping from the inside draw rates well as a leading chance. TWENTY ONE MAY (3) placed second of 14 two starts back at this track but failed to fire last start when only finishing sixth of 12. In the mix.
