Fast pace assured with Time Fo Orchids, Ice Star and Troppo Veloce leading the charge. ALMOND SEA (6) is lightly raced with top-form lines to her credit. She showed good speed here over this trip last time, found another kick, and drew clear for a big win. Her recent spell would have done her the world of good and with only 55kg on her back, she can win this fresh up. TIME FO ORCHIDS (1) finished a solid third here last time out before going for a spell. She is suited by 1000m and is likely to race on the pace. If she doesn't need the run, she will be hard to hold out. EXCHANGE STUDENT (4) ran a fair race for fourth over 1200m on the Inside course here last start. She has won twice and finished second once from five starts over this distance. Each way value. ICE STAR (2) won a good race over this distance on the Vaal Classic course last time out. She finished fifth and not far behind the third pick in her penultimate run. Stick with her.
