UNCLE BOB (5) is a four-start maiden who was in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second at the latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Settles back early but winds up late. Leading contender. FUTURE RED (4) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1400m at Turffontein Standside after being prominent at the bend. Ready to go a couple better. ECHO OF THE WILD (6) is a four-start maiden who finished sixth after being in the firing line on the bend at his most recent outing over 1600m at this track. Solid top-three chance on his best figures. CUZZIE (2) again failed to feature last start, finishing eighth and beaten 15 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks close to a win and worth including.

Racing well recently. At the latest run 2nd of 8 at this track on July 30 over 1600m, 2.25 len behind Duke Of Lorraine carrying 56kg at $9.50. Before that 2nd of 9 at Turffontein Standside on July 21 over 1600m, 10 len behind Mission To Mars carrying 56kg at $9.50. Overdue for a win and looks well placed here. Will hit the line hard.
