THE ULTIMATE KING (1) finished second of 10 over 1800m at Turffontein Standside last time out after racing on the speed into the turn. Jumps from an inside draw and can go one better. SEVENTH FLEET (2) finished fourth last time out over 1400m at Turffontein Standside after being in contention into the turn when resuming from a spell. Racing over a longer trip has winning claims. FUTURE KING (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Turffontein Standside, finishing fifth of seven. CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD (5) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start when finishing third of 12 over 2000m at this track. Well worth an each-way ticket.
