A strong pace on the cards with Order Of Hope, Mo Ment and To The Rescue likely to roll along early. ROMEO'S MAGIC (3) won his last start over this course and distance easier than the official margin suggests. He meets a similar line-up and he can follow up with another victory. ARLINGTON ACTION (4) ran a fair race when finishing fourth of seven over this course and distance last time. He gets the services of the 2.5kgs claiming apprentice Nirvan Nastili which will assist his cause. Has each-way claims. TO THE RESCUE (1) improved last start to finish second of seven over 2400m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Finds an easier line-up here and can return to winning form. ROSY LEMON (7) wasn't that far away last time out, finishing fourth of 11 over 2000m at Turffontein Inside. Won't be bothered by this longer journey and rates well as a leading chance.
