    Race Analysis

    KING'S EXPRESS (1) improved last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1m1f at Turffontein Standside. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. HAWKBILL (2) won at this track and distance at his last outing three-and-a-half months ago. Expect him to play a major role. OPEN HIGHWAY (6) got home by 2 lengths last time out over 1m at this track. Has four wins here. Can measure up again. THE PLAYBOY BOMBER (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1m. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
