SOSORU is the top bet on the programme. He showed good speed over this distance at Turffontein last time before getting outrun late by Slender Silhouette. That was his first outing as a gelding. The son of Vercingetorix will strip much fitter. In this type of field, he should take a power of beating. HAMMER BLOW finished 1.3 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and he may have to settle for the same result. ELEGANT EDGE had excuses at the start last time. It must be noted that the horses that finished second and third that day have come out and won since. She gets the services of 4kgs claiming Apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson which will assist her cause. She has scope and would not be a shock winner. ISAAC STEPHAN showed improvement when 8.6 lengths behind the top choice last time. The son of Vercingetorix would have come on from the run and may have further improvement to come.
