Certain to be a strong tempo with Safe Space, Azaleas For All and Ombudsman leading the charge. GUERILLA WARFARE (6) missed the placings two starts back then improved last start to finish third of eight over 1600m at this track. Jumps from the inside draw and rates well as a leading chance. AFTER HOURS (7) won by a neck at this track two starts back then finished third of 13 at this track last time. Racing in good form this prep and is well worth considering. OMBUDSMAN (3) turned in a strong run two starts back at this track when finishing second of 12 then failed to fire over 2000m at Turffontein Standside last time out. Racing over a shorter trip can return to form. WHISPERS OF WAR (8) has recorded back-to-back placings, the latest when finishing second of seven over 1600m at Scottsville. Is a must include in exotic bets.
