Strong tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Prized Possession and Quest Of Valor. PRIZED POSSESSION (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at Scottsville last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. WAR REPORTER (5) returns from a break of 11 weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 1600m at Vaal. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. ZAGREB (8) has been in good form, scoring three back at Greyville All Weather then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third when he was always up in the leading division over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. THE GLIDING FISH (6) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Scored over 1400m at Greyville All Weather at the start of last prep. Has found the right race and is worth including.
