Good pace with Zalatoris, African Pride and Good For You matching motors. GREEN DIAMOND (3) was ultra-impressive when winning last time. She showed good speed, found another gear and kicked asway from her rivals. She is the class horse in this event and she should take a power of beating. CHARMING CHEETAH (8) showed good speed when winning his last start over 1160m at Turffontein. Rates well as an each-way chance. ZALATORIS (1) was in the money last start when second of seven at Turffontein Standside over 1160m when sent out as the favourite. Looks well placed here to atone. GOOD FOR YOU (2) snuck in a place when second of seven last time at this track. Won here two starts back and is in the mix.
