Plenty of speed with Nkwenkwezi, Lady William and Babette's Feast leading Witching Hour and Mattiazo. BABETTE'S FEAST (8) ran an encouraging race on debut over 1160m at Turffontein last start. She found betting support and would have gained from the experience and should love the rise to 1600m. With the natural improvement that is expected, she should be the one to beat. WITCHING HOUR (10) found one too good on the day last start. She is a progressive type and she is one of the leading contenders. NKWENKWEZI (2) has finished second in her last four starts. She has finished second three times and third once from as many starts over this distance. Piere Strydom is booked to ride and she merits healthy respect. MATTIAZO (3) set the pace over 1800m on the Turffontein Inside course last time and stayed on well to finish third. She is having her peak run today and must be included in exotic bets.
