Plenty of pressure with Carnelo, Deception Pass and Gimmeachoice leading the charge. WORLD OF ROYALTY (8) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Turffontein Inside two starts back then got the job done by 1.75 lengths as public elect last time out over 1800m at Vaal. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. DECEPTION PASS (9) has been in the placings his past two starts, finishing second over 2000m at Turffontein Inside last time out. Blaine Marx-Jacobson has registered two minor placings when on board. Leading contender. DIWALI ROCKET (1) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1450m at Turffontein Inside, an improvement on his first-up fifth at Turffontein Inside the run before. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. DARK SILVER (4) ran a better race last start, finishing 3 lengths away in fourth over 1600m at Vaal. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
