|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Good pace with Antonio Gaudi, Titan Of The Turf and Kudikaran matching motors. Hard too go past KUDIKARAN (6) who hasn't raced since finished third over 1200m in the Grade 1 Gold Medallion at Scottsville on May 23. Resuming in far easier company. Will prove tough to stop fresh. MAX THE MAGICIAN (4) improved last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1160m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. VIBE SA (5) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fourth over 1160m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths after working home well. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins. Likely improver with strong prospects. AFRICAN PRINCE (8) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing seventh over 1000m at Turffontein Inside. Well-placed and can sneak into the finish.
