GULF OF AMERICA (4) will find this a little easier than her second on debut three-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 0.8 lengths at the end of 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Promising type with improvement to come so she will be hard to beat. JAPANESE GARDEN (7) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Can open winning account this time. BOLD ACTION (2) improved last start to finish second over 1700m at Vaal after being in contention on the corner. Has the ability to take care of this field. OPERA FAN (9) ran below expectations last start, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths at Turffontein Standside over 1000m. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
