Geostorm and Stage One possess good early speed. READY SET FIRE (3) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 3.5 lengths victory over 1200m at Vaal nine days ago. In career best form and can make it three straight.. EVENING PARADE (8) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.25 lengths over 1000m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. TIME WILL TELL (11) made significant late ground last start to get up for second over 1200m at Vaal. Expected to be there at the business end. WINTER IN AUCKLAND (6) is returning from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at Kenilworth over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Tony Peter.
