GO JOHNNY GO (9) could only manage sixth on debut then improved last start but found one better over 7¼f at this track, beaten a long neck. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. POMPEII SHIELD (2) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 6f. Watch for a much better performance this time. LANCE ALOT (3) is yet to break through after five starts. Placed in a then last time out was fifth, beaten 7 lengths, over 1m at Turffontein Standside. Has the pace to take a forward position. Suited here and can feature with even luck. SHOREYBOMBA (4) finished 2. 75 lengths from the winner in sixth at his most recent appearance over 1m at this track. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
