Genuine tempo with Warofdynamite to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. ASTRONOMICAL BOY (5) returns from a spell of five months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when ninth over 1400m at Durbanville. Has switched to the Dean Smith yard over the break. Resuming in easier company and should be hard to stop. AUGUSTA ROSSO (7) lines up for the first time since April 10. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. WAROFDYNAMITE (2) is yet to place in seven starts on the turf but in winning form and rates well this line-up. FRENCH FLAME (6) won at Fairview All Weather two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing seventh over 1300m at Fairview All Weather. Placed 2/3 here and among the chances. Nicely placed to turn things around.
