Solid tempo from Lava Fire, Can't Catch Me and Gardener's Pride battling for the lead in a high-pressure contest. PRINCESS LOLA (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1450m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 2 lengths. Best figures measure up. Building to a win and sure to run well. GOLDEN ASPEN (7) disappointed last time when fifth over 1600m at this track after a close third at this track the run prior. Looks better placed over this shorter trip so a bold showing is expected. AINT NO DOUBT (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1600m at this track. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is definitely worth including. CAPTAIN COOPER (10) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
