Plenty of speed runners engaged, with First Arrow, Grand Legacy and Greenlight Racer prominent. RADIO STAR (10) is a son of Fire Away from the Mike and Adam Azzie stable with Gavin Lerena booked to ride. If not too green in the running he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances. TAKE NO PRISONERS (11) is a son of Vercingetorix from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Callan Murray in the saddle. If not in need of this outing, he should give a good account of himself. TWO FOR THE BOYS (1) has shown improvement with the blinkers fitted. He finished third over this distance at the Vaal in his penultimate run. With a bit of luck in the running after jumping from the widest draw should be the first raced runner past the post. CRONUS (2) stayed on well when third over 1600m on this course last time. He has scope and would not be a shock winner.
