USA'S HOPE (4) First up after a break. Came in 2nd last run at this venue. Craig Zackey is a key engagement. Expected to settle towards the tail. Good chance in this event. MERCANTOUR (1) Looked good when 3rd last start at the track. Richard Fourie and Alan Greeff must be respected together. Likely to settle back in the field. Right in this. ABOUND (6) Tidy effort when 3rd last time here and has the ideal alley. Displays good tactical speed. Has run into the money 4 from 4 attempts this preparation. Better claims. FIRST ORIGIN (2) Did well when 2nd last start at this track and drawn nicely. Good to see Luyolo Mxothwa is jumping on. Putting up notable efforts this preparation. Not out of this.
