Lucretius, Allaroundtheworld and Blazing Light to take up the running at a decent tempo. ALLAROUNDTHEWORLD (2) set the pace over 2300m on the turf last time and stayed on to finish fifth. He will be ideally suited to this distance and he will enjoy the return to the polytrack. Calvin Habib retains the ride and if getting his own way in front, he can return to winning form. LUCRETIUS (1) won his last start easier than the official margin suggests. Craig Zackey retains the ride and if jumping on level terms, he can follow up. CIRCLE OF GRACE (4) is better than his last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course would suggest. He has won twice and finished third once from as many starts on this course. Improvement is expected. RASTIGNAC (7) scored his maiden win last time out at this track and is a solid each-way chance.
