They should roll along at a decent clip in a true test for the milers. TYRCONNELL (6) was disappointing in his last start on the Turffontein Inside course. If putting his best foot forward, he should can win a race of this nature. Can atone. KING'S EXPRESS (5) should have finished closer to the winner last time as he hung over the final 500m. He won his only attempt over this course and distance. He is having his peak run today and should be figuring in the finish. GREENBACKCURRENCY (4) raced below par at his only appearance last prep when finishing fifth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Looks well placed here and fresh-up can place. CIRCLE OF GRACE (8) bounced back to winning form last start over 1800m at Greyville All Weather. Likely to be there at the finish again.
