ECHO CHECK (8) is racing well. Scored at this track in a then finished third, beaten half a length, over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside at the latest appearance a month ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. THE LAST DUKE (10) was far from disgraced when second last start after being in contention on the bend over 6f at this track, beaten a nose. That followed a win at Turffontein Inside the start prior. Finds a tougher race but a better run will not surprise. ENSUING (5) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner when when resuming last start over 6f at Turffontein Inside. Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Worth noting Gavin Lerena goes aboard. Goes up a rung or two but he is capable of running another bold race. BOB'S YOUR UNCLE (1) performed above expectations last time over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside, getting the prize by 0. 8 lengths. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Don't underestimate.
