Plenty of pressure expected over the mile. MICHAEL FARADAY (2) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a nose, over 1400m at Vaal. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. THE MIGHTIEST (1) wound up strongly in the run home last start to register an impressive win over 1600m at Vaal. Confidence high after that last performance so another big run is anticipated. APOSTROPHE (3) broke through for her maiden win over 1600m at Vaal last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Malesela Katjedi stays aboard and she should be in the finish again. GOLDEN ASPEN (6) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at Vaal, finishing fourth and beaten 1.5 lengths. Well placed and should be about the money.
