Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with King's Express, Player and Royal Edition leading the charge. LA MOOHAL (1) was running on when third over this distance on the Standside course last time. He is having his peak run today and will be cherry-ripe. Gavin Lerena is booked to ride and he may be able to get the best out of him. FLASHY APACHE (2) stayed on well at the finish when second over 2000m on the Standside course last time. Apprentice Nirvan Nastili takes 2.5kgs off his back and he should be fighting out the finish. KING'S EXPRESS (4) won a game race in his last start over this course and distance. He is in a good space and must be included in exotic bets. WO MILES WEST (9) was a winner two back at Turffontein Standside then was competitive last time when fourth of 12 over 1800m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset and has each-way claims.
