OLYMPIAN GOLD (5) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a neck over 1m at Turffontein Standside. Open to plenty of improvement and is all set to make it two-for-two this prep. KING'S EXPRESS (1) finished fourth last time out over 1m1f at Turffontein Standside, beaten 5. 5 lengths. Is very effective at this distance with four wins from 14 runs. Well placed and should be tough to beat. DARK SILVER (7) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1m2f at Turffontein Standside, beaten only a neck after being prominent at the turn. Steps up a level but he is capable of running a bold race. TITANS OF WAR (3) finished 6 lengths from the winner in sixth last time out over 1m7f at Group 3 level at Greyville on July 4. Well placed to atone.
