Lots of speed predominantly from Pivotal Role, Umzingeli Wenyathi and Stoneywood. UMZINGELI WENYATHI (1) just missed in open class latest and was a winner here the start prior. Can immediately bounce back to winning form. PLUS FOUR (2) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished fourth over 1000m at Greyville. Goes well fresh and excels here. PIVOTAL ROLE (4) comes here off a break of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1000m at Vaal. Comes here with definite top-three claims. TWENTYTWENTYVISION (7) has been out of the winners list for a long time, last start finishing third at Vaal over 1000m. Should be poised just off the lead. Deserves respect on best figures.
