|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo expected primarily from Gimmeachoice and Robert Browning. THE PLAYBOY BOMBER (2) won only try this course and distance and was too good here on the inside track last time. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot. BOUNDLESS LOVE (8) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last four starts, most recently finishing third over 2000m at Turffontein Inside. Should measure up again. BEST CANDIDATE (9) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 0.7 lengths over 1700m at Vaal. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three starts. Solid top-three chance. JORDAN (3) was beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 2000m at Turffontein Inside last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
