They should roll along at a decent clip. NUMZAAN (17) built on a nice second two starts back at Greyville All Weather with a win as favourite over 1400m at this track eight weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. TERMINATOR (12) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a head away in second last time over 1600m at Greyville. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and shapes as a key contender. DANCING ON A CLOUD (9) broke through for his maiden win over 1600m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be discounted. RED MOUNTAIN (2) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a third at this track two starts back then scored by a nose last time out over 1600m at Greyville. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
