Expecting a slick tempo with Gorgeous Dude, Samthewiseman and Preemptive Strike leading the way. TRIPPI T (5) followed up his maiden victory with a good second-place finish over 1000m here on the turf. He showed good speed and fought hard all the way to the line. He is likely to get his own way in front today and may be hard to peg back in the run down to the line. PREEMPTIVE STRIKE (3) has decent recent form lines to his credit. It must be noted that multiple horses from his last form line have come out and won since. Four of his five career victories have come here over this trip and he merits healthy respect. COMING IN HOT (4) is better than his last start over 1600m on the Turffontein Inside course. Three of his five career victories have come over this distance. If finding the form of his penultimate run, he should have a say in the outcome of this contest. NOW I GOT YOU (9) fought on gamely when fifth over this distance at Scottsville last time out. He gets the blinkers fitted for the first time which should keep his mind on the task at hand. Each way claims in this.
