Speed should be right on over the 1000m journey. TWENTYTWENTYVISION (9) ran a strong race when runner-up over this distance at Turffontein last time and looks well placed to go one better. He meets that rival on 6.5kg better terms than when they clashed two starts ago, which could be enough to reverse the result. IT'S PERSONAL (2) was unlucky not to finish closer last start after hanging in the closing stages. A winner over this trip at his previous outing over the top pick, he remains an each-way contender and is rarely far away. HEATH HOUSE (1) was beaten into third in the SA Sales Cup last time, a race that has produced multiple subsequent winners. Back to his preferred distance, he should be prominent throughout. MYSTICAL MISS (8) stayed on well for third over 1200m here last start, and with Craig Zackey taking the reins, she can be competitive again. Include in all combos.
