Plenty of pressure with Tsar Bomba, Across The Pond and Richard The First leading the charge. GUY GIBSON (2) was doing his best work late when second over 1200m at Scottsville last time. Richard Fourie is booked to ride, and he should be at peak fitness. BOB'S YOUR UNCLE (4) won by a head over 1450m at Turffontein Inside last start. Winning rider Craig Zackey retains the mount and jumping from a good draw of four can make it a hat-trick. PASSAGE OF POWER (6) fought on well for second of nine last start over 1000m at Vaal, making it two placings in a row. Looks close to a winning run. TSAR BOMBA (7) finished third of nine last start when resuming from a spell over 1400m at Vaal last start. Racing in a fitter race looks hard to beat.
