THE ULTIMATE KING (1) is a five-time winner who has been performing well, beaten 2 lengths into third last time out over 1m2f at Turffontein Standside. Races well here and is the testing material. BUSTER BARNES (5) returned last time with a solid third at Turffontein Standside over 1m when he made late ground. Nicely placed to go a couple better. GERBERA (8) did a great job to score by 1. 2 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. PIONEER SQUARE (9) made progress last time out, finishing 2. 5 lengths from the winner in third over 1m at Turffontein Standside. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
