|---|---|---|---|---|

Palace Attack is likely to roll to the lead and set a decent tempo. Good race with some promising stayers. COUNCILLOR (14) won this trip fresh and can only be fitter again. Promising filly having first run here and is weighted to win again. Strong winning chance. TEXAS MISSILE (4) was a winner this course and distance fresh then just missed this class latest. Go close again. MASTER SPY (7) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at Turffontein Inside over 1800m, beaten 1.1 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Will appreciate the longer journey now. CULTURATI (9) finished second last time over 2400m at Vaal, beaten half a length. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing.
