Expecting One Armed Bandit to take up the running with The Mask and Iron Will close at hand. PROFESSOR LUPIN (4) built on a nice third two starts back at Greyville All Weather with a win over 1200m at Greyville All Weather two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0.3 lengths. Athandiwe Mgudlwa scored on him last time and retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. THE MASK (6) last raced when successful by half a length over 1400m at this track three-and-a-half months ago. Looks a winning chance. MUSIC IS LIFE (2) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1200m at Greyville All Weather, an improvement on his ninth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can take this out. NOW I GOT YOU (8) was beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth in a 1400m contest at Greyville All Weather at his latest appearance. No surprise to see him in contention.
