Tiger Storm to set a strong early tempo joined by Blup Blup pushing on from an outside draw. PLUMBAGO PARK (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 13 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1200m at Vaal, beaten 3.5 lengths. This easier and placed only try this course and distance. Expected to go close. MICHAEL FARADAY (1) bounced back last start and landed the prize by one length over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Likely to be there at the finish again. TIME WILL TELL (8) was doing his best work late last start to get up for second over 1200m at Vaal. Likely to feature. ROYAL HORIZON (5) has been freshened up since she finished 14th over 1160m at Turffontein Standside five-and-a-half weeks ago. Forgive the last run; in the mix.
