Should be a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. POETS WARRIOR (1) changes rider since being well held last time in tenth over 3200m at Listed level at this track on April 28. Freshened and this much easier. Unbeaten course and distance. Top prospects. BELLEROPHON (4) was midfield in the SA Derby before winning an easier race this trip last time. Hard to beat if he brings his A-game. HOTARUBI (3) will find this a little easier than his last run just seven days ago when ninth over 1800m at Group 3 level at this track. Capable of putting that recent failure behind him. MO MENT (5) ran a better race last start to finish sixth over 2000m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 4.5 lengths. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is worth including.
