Looking to Majalun, Enflame and Santiago's Pride as likely leaders in a solid speed battle. ENFLAME (9) showed good improvement when fifth over 1600m on this course last time. He will strip much fitter and should love the rise to 2000m. He is a progressive type and may find himself in the winner's enclosure. SANTIAGO'S PRIDE (1) found one too good on the day over 1800m on the Vaal Classic course last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He will strip much fitter and has winning claims. MIZZEN SWORD (2) is better than his last start run over 1200m at the Vaal would suggest. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. He takes a big rise in distance and if suited, he should be fighting out the finish. HEROIC ACT (3) was in the money two starts back at Vaal then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1800m at Vaal when finishing fifth in his first ruin this prep. Fitter and can place.
