BOURBON RESERVE (10) is a promising galloper who saluted at his last run before a break 12 weeks ago over 5f at Vaal. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. JOHNNY APPLESEED (6) ran well below his best last time over 5f at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into sixth at 2/1. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Among the leading chances. RONDEBOSCH (5) lines up on the back of a 5.5 lengths fourth over 5f at this track. Has solid credentials. YAMADORI (3) finished third last start over 5f at this track, beaten one length. This is a suitable assignment and can get the job done.
