Expecting a strong pace headed by Zoombomber, Oriental Bouquet and Blup Blup. DADS DREAM (3) broke through for his maiden win over 1160m at Turffontein Standside last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is a key runner. ORIENTAL BOUQUET (11) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1000m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Leading contender. KOTINOS (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ZOOMBOMBER (9) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only a neck from the winner at the end of 1000m. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again.
