Many of these have the speed to be prominent so a genuine tempo is anticipated. FRERE JACQUES (10) is a promising type who stepped to a mile latest at Vaal and scored his maiden win. Has plenty of upside and drops nicely in weight. Worth following up. OMBUDSMAN (5) was also a Vaal winner over a mile last time, in this grade. More weight but has the inside and can measure up again. READ ALL ABOUT IT (3) resumes and did win only try fresh. Placed only try course and distance and has the ability. Big threat. ZIP CODE (2) was midfield over further last time with a big weight. Placed 3/5 this journey and has a nice weight drop. Has claims on best figures.
