Solid tempo set by Winding Power and Fostinovo. FOSTINOVO (1) returns from a break of 11 weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a eighth over 1400m at Greyville. Super consistent course and distance. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. UNSOLVED RIDDLE (5) finished 1.75 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1450m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at Vaal the run before. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HAT'S MAMBO (6) won his maiden four starts back and is nearing another victory with placings at his last two runs, most recently when third over 1400m at Greyville. Marco V'rensburg sticks. Certainly one to consider. SATYAGRAHA (4) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1400m at Vaal. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
