Abundant early pace from the speedy trio of And Action, Sovereigns Call and Alakanani. BAD MEDICINE (6) stayed on well when finishing second over 1000m on this course last start when on debut. He has been gelded since that last run which may have done the trick. He should have no issues with the rise to 1200m and with the natural improvement that is expected he will prove hard to beat. WAHEED (8) looked well in need of her debut effort over this distance at the Vaal when finishing fourth of nine. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. Has solid each-way claims. GOLD AGENT (5) has fair form lines to her credit. She finished third in her only attempt over this course and distance. Craig Zackey is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. AND ACTION (1) placed second two starts back at Vaal but ran below expectations last time when finishing seventh of 15 over 1000m at Vaal. Has his share of ability and can finish in the money.
