Keen speed battle, with Doctor Strangelove and Evening News prominent. DOCTOR STRANGELOVE (5) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 5 lengths into third over 1400m at Vaal. Should be prominent from the outset. Best form puts him right in this. EPIDAURUS (2) improved last start to finish second over 1800m at Vaal. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. INCLUSION (1) finished fourth over 2000m at Vaal at his most recent appearance on February 24. Looks a strong top-three prospect. COMIC ARTIST (8) finished midfield last start at Vaal over 1800m, 7 lengths from the winner. Steps up in distance today and is sure to be thereabouts.
