Anticipating a genuine tempo over the 1000m journey. TWENTYTWENTYVISION (1) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a third at Turffontein Standside over 1000m. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. HAMMER BLOW (2) recorded his maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when second at this track. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Likely to feature. ARILENA (3) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fourth beaten 3 lengths over 1000m at Turffontein Inside. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One to consider. TIME WILL TELL (7) had been racing consistently with three minor placings on end prior to finishing sixth most recently over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Back to the track at which he finished second two runs back. Should be poised just off the lead. Must be respected.
