Hot tempo expected with Antonio Gaudi, Sakhala Is'cathulo and Beaded Gown heading the charge. MISTER WILSON (5) won a good race when shedding his maiden tag over this course and distance last start. He showed good speed and found extra where it matters most. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. He has plenty of scope and should be well up to the task at hand. SAKHALA IS'CATHULO (3) ran a fair race over 1160m at Turffontein last time when finishing a close-up fourth of nine. Looks well placed here to return to form. CAPTAIN EFFICIENT (4) has fair consistent form lines to his credit. He is drawn on the outside of the course and after settling back in the running should be coming home well over the final stages. Has each-way claims. ANTONIO GAUDI (1) opened this prep with a win over 1000m at Turffontein Inside last start. Racing in a fitter state should be finishing in the money.
