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

Cracking tempo with Rollwiththepunches and Quickfreeze leading the way. QUICKFREEZE (11) is yet to miss the placings in four starts, including two wins. Last appeared when he finished third over 1450m at Turffontein Inside on February 12. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Likely to feature. AFRICAN PRINCE (12) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1160m. Well placed and sure to run well. JUST THE TWO OF US (8) scored here over 1000m just a couple of days ago when $15 and scoring by a length. On the quick back-up and worth following up. LEAD THE CHARGE (10) ran below expectations last time at Vaal, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Well placed to make amends.
