|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of pace from Battle Ofthe Bulge, Inclusion and Lunar Rainbow vying for the lead, with a few others keeping them honest. INCLUSION (9) is a two-start maiden who finished fourth of seven when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Improvement to come and should prove hard to roll. FUTURE KING (8) is a two-start maiden who finished fifth when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Will take a lot from that run and looks a strong chance to break through. GIFT OF ROYAL (1) finished third of eight over 1700m at this track two runs back then missed the frame last time out over 2000m at this track. Has the pace to take a forward position and has solid top-three claims. BRIGHAM (3) finished fifth of 10 over 1600m at Turffontein Standside last time out. Jumps from the inside draw and is well placed to turn form around.
