CHESTNUT BOMBER (7) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.2 lengths over 1m at Greyville. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Gavin Lerena sticks and he is a leading contender. OFFICER IN COMMAND (2) is a talented gelding who was well held last time out in the tougher won by La Moohal over 1m1f at this track, into 12th. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Will prove tough to beat. VOLARE E MAMBO (4) recorded her maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when third at Turffontein Inside. M Van Rensburg stays aboard. Has claims on her best figures. ATARIME (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on April 6 finishing tenth and beaten 7 lengths over 1m4 1/4f in the G1 SA Derby at this track. One to consider.
