Expect a genuine pace with plenty of speed engaged. ASTRONOMICAL BOY (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on March 4, finishing ninth and beaten 8 lengths over 1400m at Durbanville. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Dean Smith. Comes here with definite claims. DETAILED FORECAST (7) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1000m at Fairview All Weather, finishing fifth, beaten 3 lengths. Has been in the money at each second up start. Among the winning hopes. FIRST OFFICER (11) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at Fairview All Weather, clocking in 6 lengths from the winner as favourite. Must be respected. SPECIAL STAR (13) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of three-and-a-half months. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. One of the better hopes.
