Fast pace assured with Rainbow Reward, Super Fast and Spaarne Rivier leading the charge. MASTEROFTHEDESERT (6) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 1250m at Durbanville. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. SUPER FAST (7) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and did win first-up last time in work over 1200m at this track. Key runner. FREEDOM FIGHTER (1) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of five-and-a-half months and looking to emulate his win at Durbanville to kick off the last campaign. One of the genuine hopes in the race. IBUTHO (4) fought on for third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
