Expecting Deepone to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. BELLEROPHON (2) scored at this track last time out with 2.75 lengths in reserve at the end of 2800m. Has three wins here. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. DEEPONE (1) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on July 21, finishing seventh and beaten 18 lengths over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Former Irish galloper who was well off best only run for new yard but is a Grade 2 winner in Ireland. First try this trip but has the ability and does go well fresh. SAMUEL SHARPE (8) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 2400m. Won maiden here and is course and distance placed a few starts back. Can make amends for a modest effort last time. FUTUREWOLFF (7) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 15 lengths away in eighth over 2400m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
