Military Command, Best Of All and Nordic Chief to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. BEST OF ALL (6) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1200m at this track at his latest appearance. Form here at this trip is sound. Has a high cruising speed. Fitter for two runs back and looks ready. HAH LAH LAH (7) won when fresh from a spell two runs back then was well in the market last time but could only manage fifth over 1400m at Greyville All Weather. Craig Zackey who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Among the leading chances. MAMLAMBO (11) is back from a five-and-a-half months spell and she does run well first-up, including a win over 1400m at Vaal at the start of last prep. Winning chance while fresh. NORDIC CHIEF (5) has not appeared since he finished fifth over 1250m at Durbanville on March 21. One to consider.
