Plenty of pressure expected over the mile. ROYALE JACKET (1) did well last time to finish second over 1400m at Turffontein Standside when he was handy all the way. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Overdue and looks the one to beat. MIDNIGHT SHOW (4) is still a maiden after four starts but was placed at Turffontein Inside when resuming before finishing sixth at Turffontein Inside last start. Expected to run well. ECHO OF THE WILD (3) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. DREAMING OF YOUTH (8) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
