HIS LORDSHIP (5) finished third two runs back at Turffontein Standside then improved last time out to score by one length over 5f at Vaal. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BANYAN (4) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Scored over 5f at this track to launch the last campaign. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ESQUEVELLE (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 24 when beaten 6 lengths into sixth at Vaal over 5f. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. HEMISPHERE (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 27. Scored over 5f at Turffontein Standside to launch the last campaign. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
