|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo expected primarily from Itsnowornever and Red Sparrow. ITSNOWORNEVER (3) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner as favourite over 2000m at Vaal. Bolted in this grade last time. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot. INSTANT ATTRACTION (6) returned from a spell three-and-a-half weeks ago when fourth in the same race. Fitter again and meets winner better at the weights. Expected to finish much closer. THAMBI (10) was the winner up in the same race behind Itsnowornever, beaten 4 lengths. Meets winner better at the weights and has a strong record this circuit. Worth following. CASUS BELLI (2) turned in a disappointing run last time out over 2400m at Vaal after a nice win the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
