Moderate tempo with Cover Charge leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. COVER CHARGE (8) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1600m at this track two back then finished fifth over a mile at Turffontein Inside. On the quick backup and has placed 2/3 here. Can atone. EVENING NEWS (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 2000m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. EPIDAURUS (2) has been racing in great heart including a last start second over 2000m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 2.5 lengths. Well placed to figure prominently again. CLAIRWOOD BREEZE (6) was safely held on debut but can improve sharply.
