---|---|---|---|---|
Luthuli, Banha Bridge and One More Star can set the pace. ONE MORE STAR (3) followed up his maiden victory with a good second of 12 over 2000m on the Vaal Classic course last start when resuming from a spell. He set the pace that day before getting outrun late. He is in a good space and in a fitter state may be the one to beat from barrier three. BANHA BRIDGE (2) is better than his last start run over 2400m on the Vaal Classic course when sixth of seven would suggest. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from seven starts over this distance. He jumps from the inside gate and is worth another chance. DIESEL'S SHADOW (5) has consistent form lines to his credit. He won his only attempt over this course and distance. He resumed from a spell over 2000m here last start and finished a game second of nine. He has won second-up previously and can add to that record here. DARK SILVER (4) returned to form with a solid run to finish third of nine over 2000m at this track last start in what was his third run this prep. In the mix.
