Strong pace from Carnelo and Force Publique pushing forward, along with Palace Guard. FORCE PUBLIQUE (2) is progressing nicely and wasn't too far away last time when second over 1800m at Vaal. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Looks tough to run down. CASUS BELLI (10) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at Turffontein Standside over 1800m. Rates highly in this line up. Gets his chance. FULL GO (11) has recently been thereabouts without winning, the latest effort a second over 1800m at Turffontein Standside. Can feature on his best form. CHABAL (3) raced below his best last time when eighth over 2400m at Vaal, beaten 5 lengths. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
