Expecting a genuine pace with a number of these pressing forward. SCARLETT HEART (10) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. FOLLOW THE MASTER (1) is close to breaking through after finishing second last start over 2400m at Vaal when he was handy all the way. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. HEROIC ACT (3) is a 17-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1800m at Turffontein Inside after he got a long way back in the run. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. SANTIAGO'S PRIDE (2) failed to figure again last time over 2400m at Vaal, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Don't underestimate.
