Pace a scorcher, headed by Brave Waam, Velvet Valour and Nebraska, closely followed by Sendai and Turbo Tiger. SENDAI (1) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 2 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NEBRASKA (2) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1450m at Vaal, beaten 2.75 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. QUEVANO (4) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Expected to feature in the finish this time. CRONUS (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1450m at Vaal, beaten 3 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
