Hot early pace is on the cards with Dual Prophecy, In A Blue Moon and Livebythesword matching motors. IN A BLUE MOON (2) moved up well in his last start over 1700m, but was outrun late, finishing second of 10 at this track. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe fitness wise. Looks well placed to go one better. DUAL PROPHECY (1) resumes from a spell during which time he was gelded. He showed good promise in his debut run three starts back to finish second of 15. Fresh-up and jumping from a good draw has winning claims. OFFICER IN COMMAND (4) comes here following a win over 1600m at Turffontein Inside, getting home by a neck. Sure to be in the finish. MASTER ARIANO (5) resumed from a spell last start with a modest 10th over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Strips fitter and is likely to feature in the top-three.
