Race Tip

Cape Flying Championship winner DYCE (1) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 5f at Turffontein Inside. Group 3 winner CLIFF HANGER (4) finished 1.75 lengths away from the winner in second when resuming last start at Turffontein Inside over 6f Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from four starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expected to be in the finish. TROPPO VELOCE (5) finished fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths, last time out over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside. Impeccable record at this course, winning all three starts. Must be considered. Group 1 placegetter QUANTUM THEORY (2) scored in a at Turffontein Standside but was below his best last time when sixth over 6f at Turffontein Inside. Well placed to make amends.
