JOKER MAN (2) was safely held when resuming from a lay-off behind Back In Business at Group 2 level at Turffontein Inside over 7¼f, beaten 19 lengths into 14th. Reunites with jockey Gavin Lerena who knows him well, including three wins while aboard. Fitter and ready to win. IMPERIAL MASTER (5) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1m2f at Turffontein Inside. Worth noting J R Syster goes aboard. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running a bold race. COMMAND PILOT (7) finished third last time over 1m1f at this track when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 1.5 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. NEBRAAS (1) never really threatened when resuming last time out, finishing midfield and beaten 8 lengths over 1m4f at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Don't underestimate.
