Strong early tempo over this journey looks a certainty. MASTER CASPER (1) followed up his maiden victory with a good second-place finish over this distance at Greyville. He showed good speed that day and fought hard all the way to the line. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. Looks the one to beat. CITYSCAPE (9) showed good speed when winning her last start over 1200m at the Vaal. She should have no issues with the drop to 1000m and can follow up. last start over 1000m at Greyville. That followed a first-up win at Turffontein Inside. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. LOVEGRASS (6) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Turffontein Inside, finishing sixth and beaten 3 lengths over 1000m. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. DUKE OF ROCK (5) has been kept fresh since running below par last time, finishing eighth over 1000m at this track. Rates well as one of the main chances.
