They should get along early on with plenty of speed on show. ZIP CODE (1) was not disgraced when second over 1600m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. He raced from a handy position, but found one too good on the day. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. He returns to Handicap Company and can go one better. UNSOLVED RIDDLE (3) stayed on well when third over 1600m at Turffontein last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. Gavin Lerena retains the ride, and he should be involved at the finish. FUTUREWOLFF (4) won a good race over this course and distance last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. Raymond Danielson sticks with the ride and the combination merit healthy respect. WAR REPORTER (7) finished sixth last time out over 1600m at this track. Capable of a much better performance and can place.
