Amandla Ngawethu and Can't Catch Me can burn across from wide out and set a strong tempo. AMANDLA NGAWETHU (1) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Has found winning form and should be near his top. Course and distance winner who will give a sight. CONCORDIA (9) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Turffontein Inside but disappointed last time when eighth, beaten 4 lengths, at this track over 1200m. Well placed and expected to take catching. CAN'T CATCH ME (15) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 1450m at Turffontein Inside three-and-a-half weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MICHAEL FARADAY (5) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at this track over 1600m. Expecting improvement.
