Genuine tempo with Can't Catch Me leading the way. SPACE MISSION (6) was in contention on the turn but turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1160m at Turffontein Standside after a nice win the start prior. Best figures measure up nicely. This easier and can make amends. WINDS OF GRACE (7) did well last time to finish second over 1200m at this track. The extra journey should play into her hands. Super consistent and expected to go close. ELUSIVE RED (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.75 lengths when fourth in a 1450m contest at Vaal two weeks ago. Nearing a win and won only try course and distance. Can build on that encouraging effort last start. BRAVE VIKING (4) ran below expectations last start, finishing sixth and beaten 2.75 lengths at Vaal over 1450m. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
