From their good gates Viking Leader and The Bronx Bull will likely vie for the lead in a keen pace battle. TUDOR ROSE (1) was a narrow winner two back at Scottsville then in the placings last time in Group 2 grade at this track. In traffic but charged home late last time. Looks suited to the mile and will be tough to stop. VIBE CHECK (14) is in a purple patch of form with his third straight win coming last time out over 1400m in Group 2 grade at this track. Looks suited by the longer journey and can get the job done again. RED SPICE (13) is a handy galloper who was 1.3 lengths from the winner in fourth when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Fitter and should improve sharply. Strong winning chance. MOANA (5) scored last start at Turffontein Inside to make it three wins from four starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. This harder but way too good last few runs.
