Hot pace certain with Circumbendibus, Dame Of Trix and Kaalvoet keen to take up the running. SPEEDMAN (14) is a promising sprinter who has won four of five starts. Leading rider stays aboard. Hard to fault and top chance again if he brings his A-game. I'M A FIREBALL (15) just missed in Grade 3 class latest. Plenty to like about his prospects. Looks a definite danger. CIRCUMBENDIBUS (12) is in great form winning last two and goes very well here. Has the right credentials. BANFF (2) finished second last time over 1000m at Vaal when resuming from a spell, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
