Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. COUSIN CASEY (1) comes here off a break of nine months after having placed second in all of his last four starts. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Boasts a first-up record of two wins and four placings from six starts. Rates highly. QUANTUM THEORY (3) returned from a spell last start when he was prominent at the corner before finishing fourth of eight over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Second up record is sound. Fitter and sure to run well. PASSAGE OF POWER (6) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished a close-up n fifth last time out over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Has each-way claims. DANTONFROMSANDTON (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Greyville when finishing fourth. Well placed and can place.
