Good pace from Curtiss Condor, Gold Fever and World Order and they'll have company. CURTISS CONDOR (1) has produced three good runs to date. He raced from a handy position over 1600m at Turffontein last time and stayed on to finish fourth. He jumps from a good draw of two and should love the rise to 1800m. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and the combination may find themselves in the winner's enclosure. ETHICAL (4) stayed on at the finish after getting squeezed at the start last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should throw out a big challenge to the top choice. FLIGHTLIGHT (2) finished fourth after being in contention on the corner at her last appearance over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Has each-way claims. WORLD ORDER (6) finished fourth last start over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Rates highly in this field and can finish in the money.
