|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo with Majestic Palace, Royal Edition and Black Lightning leading the way. MOCHA FRAPPE (7) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1800m at Turffontein Standside when beaten 4 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Will play a major role. MOOLA MAN (5) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1600m at Greyville, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish. FESTIVAL OF MAGIC (8) was well supported last start but could only manage to finish 14th at Turffontein Standside over 1800m. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Will be in this for a long way. FUSHIMI INARI (4) produced a better run last start, beaten 3 lengths into fifth over 1800m at this track. Has his share of ability and should be included in exotic bets.
