ATTICUS FINCH (7) was well fancied when resuming but found a couple better at Turffontein Inside, finishing 2 lengths adrift at the end of 1m. Yet to miss the frame over this longer journey. Winning chance. PURE PREDATOR (4) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 5¾f at this track. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. MAIN DEFENDER (1) was well in commission when resuming last start over 7¼f in Group 2 class at Turffontein Inside when seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will find this much easier. Winning claims on best figures. PURPLE PITCHER (2) fitter for the when resuming run over 7¼f in Group 2 grade at Turffontein Inside, finishing 8 lengths from the winner. Is a four time winner from four starts second up and rates a definite each-way hope.
