Corsaro Super and Two Tigers can be prominent. MOCHA MAGIC (5) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1200m at Vaal, finishing third and beaten 2 lengths. Big chance based on that effort. RECKLESS ABANDON (7) is a three-year-old colt facing the starter for the first time. Out of Group 3 winner Three Hearts. Is among the main hopes. KWAITO (4) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Include in all top 4 combos.. CHIC SHACK (3) ended up 8 lengths behind the winner at Vaal when making debut. Has place claims. Keep very safe.
