Strong tempo with Bristol Hercules, Fully Loaded and Max The Magician going forward ahead of Tintin and Ringa Ringa Roses. TINTIN (7) has really found form lately, easily winning again last start over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Should be involved in the finish. BRISTOL HERCULES (4) is overdue for a win with two recent placings, the latest finishing second over 1600m at this track, and is down in the weights this time. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. MAX THE MAGICIAN (1) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form since winning at this track on September 20, the most recent effort a fourth over 1200m at Vaal. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Capable of testing this field. SECRET CHORD (2) has been freshened up since finishing 5 lengths away in seventh over 1200m at Vaal on January 22. Muzi Yeni has a solid record aboard this five-year-old gelding so he can improve sharply.
