OMBUDSMAN (5) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 7f at Turffontein Standside, beaten 9 lengths. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GUY ALEXANDER (3) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out when third over 1m2f at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. AMERICAN REBEL (1) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. PRIMAL QUEST (4) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 7¼f contest at this track last time out by 1.5 lengths. One of the main contenders.
