CARTAGENA (4) scored by 2. 75 lengths last start over this journey at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including two wins and two placings. Can go on with it. CHABAL (3) gets a change of rider and has been freshened up since finishing fifth over 1m4f at Turffontein Standside last start. Better than the last run suggests. LAVA LAMP (1) finished third at Turffontein Inside two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 2m at Turffontein Standside, finishing 30 lengths back in tenth. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. ARLINGTON ACTION (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 10 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1m2f at Turffontein Standside. Worth noting Ryan Munger goes aboard. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
