Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. NAZARE (3) won a good race in his last start over 1000m on the Classic course. The manner in which he quickened away from the field was encouraging. He should follow up with another victory. CAPTAIN EFFICIENT (5) stayed on well when second over 1160m at Turffontein last time. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. He will strip much fitter and is one of the leading contenders. ALONE TIME (6) was running on well when second over this course and distance last time. If getting away to a clean start, he should be involved in the finish. MARIACHI MADNESS (10) finished eighth at the second run back from a spell over 1200m contest at Greyville All Weather last start. Has his share of ability and can place.
