Order Of Hope, Mo Ment and To The Rescue to vie for early honours at a solid tempo. TO THE RESCUE (1) finished a game second last time out when well supported. He is likely to race on the speed and from his good draw of two, he may be hard to peg back. ROMEO'S MAGIC (2) won his last start over 2400m well. He steps up to 2850m and if seeing out the extra distance, he can follow up with another victory. ROSY LEMON (6) has fair recent form lines to her credit. She finished fourth over 2000m at Turffontein Inside and is a likely improver who should be thereabouts. MO MENT (8) was an easy winner of his last start over 2600m on the Inside course. He takes a rise in class but is in a good space and should give a good account of himself.
