Speed should be right on over the 1000m journey. USHOULDBEDANCING (3) is a talented filly who was a debut winner then thrown straight into tougher grade last time, finishing 15 lengths behind Get Up over 1100m at Group 3 level at Turffontein Standside. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Gets chance to atone this easier grade. TIME WILL TELL (4) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten a neck into second over 1000m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. READY SET FIRE (8) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Turffontein Standside, finishing third and only 0.9 lengths from the winner at the end of 1160m. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. LONELY AS A CLOUD (1) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at Turffontein Standside but raced below expectations last time over 1000m at Greyville, finishing eighth and beaten 4 lengths. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
