Expecting Oklahoma Smokeshow to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sprint trip. CONTINENTAL KING (10) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Did find some trouble in the run and wasn't too far from the winner. Has good upside and can open winning account this time. SPECIAL AL (13) is a first-starter by Rafeef from Lady Al who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Comes out of the strong juvenile stable of Mike Mathew De Kock who have a greta record with debutantes. SAKURA HANAMI (15) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1160m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CAPTAIN'S EXPRESS (9) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Fabian Habib. By Captain Of All from Safe Harbour. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
