Umzingeli Wenyathi and Hemisphere should set a strong clip. UMZINGELI WENYATHI (1) is on a seven-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1000m at Greyville. Good effort last start and back in class. Placed only try here at the trip and expected to run well. HIS LORDSHIP (2) is coming off a last-start fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths, over 1000m at this track. Not far from winner at his last appearance and rates highly. HEMISPHERE (3) finished fifth over 1000m at Turffontein Inside at his most recent appearance on March 12. This is an ideal race to kick off. Very good record course and distance. Looks a top hope. SLENDER SILHOUETTE (9) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1000m contest at this track by 0.9 lengths. Profiles to run well.
