Genuine tempo with Lady Blunt leading the way. INTO DANCING (10) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 2000m at Turffontein Standside. Overdue for another win. Likely to measure up again. CEUTA (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1400m at Turffontein Standside after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Strong record at the trip and is racing well without winning. TOO LATE MY MATE (9) doesn't win out of turn but left a good impression last time out when beaten a nose into second over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Can feature in the finish. WARNING SOUND (2) finished second at Turffontein Standside two runs back but was less effective last time over 1800m at Vaal, finishing 8 lengths back in ninth. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
