Expecting a slick tempo with Richard The First, Kisshoten and Fostinovo leading the way. RICHARD THE FIRST (1) stayed on well when fifth of 15 over 1160m on the Standside course last time. He has finished second twice and third once from as many starts on this course. He drops in class and can notch up his third-career victory. ZIP CODE (2) showed good signs of a form return over 1600m on the Standside course last time. He stayed on well at the finish but found one too good on the day. If confirming his recent improvement, he should pose a threat. KISSHOTEN (3) won a good race over 1400m at the Vaal last time. She returns from a spell which may have done her the world of good. If not in need of this outing, she should go close. TURBO POWER (4) ran on well when winning his last start over 1200m at Greyville. He is in a good space and rates well as a leading chance.
