Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Beynac. MONEY HEIST (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.1 lengths from the winner in second over 1450m at this track after being in contention on the corner. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. WAYNE (8) missed the frame last time when eighth over 1400m in Group 3 grade at Turffontein Standside. Prior to that had won two races on end, the last of those at this circuit. Can improve sharply. BEYNAC (5) was below his best last time, finishing tenth and beaten 8 lengths over 1800m at this track. Nicely placed to make amends. TENJIKU (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
