Can't Catch Me, Zip Code and Bay Empire to take up the running at a decent tempo. BAY EMPIRE (5) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1600m at this track, scoring by half a length. Winning rider Kabelo Matsunyane sticks and he is sure to go well. CAN'T CATCH ME (8) was in the money two starts back at Turffontein Inside but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at Vaal over 1450m after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. MICHAEL FARADAY (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the corner. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. SIX OF ALL (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 6 lengths away in tenth over 1600m at Vaal. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
