Fast tempo assured with Echo Of The Wild, Sivaji and Vixeninthevineyard going toe-to-toe. CRIMSON RANGER (4) was unplaced on debut then last start he did his best work late and finished third over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DUKE OF LORRAINE (5) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Nicely placed to find winning ways. UNCLE BOB (9) is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over 1600m at Turffontein Standside nine days ago. Nice run last time and is a leading contender. VIXENINTHEVINEYARD (2) finished second last time out over 1600m at Turffontein Standside, making it eight career minor placings. Has a solid record at this track, finishing in the top-three four times. Must be respected.
