Turffontein Race 6 - Wsb Grand Heritage 21 December Pinnacle Stakes
DYCE (1) is going well this time in work, including a last start win over 1160m at this track to bring up three wins from three runs in the campaign. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expecting a bold showing. I AM GIANT (2) is resuming from a break of five months for a new stable after finishing sixth over 1200m in the G1 Mercury Sprint at Greyville at his latest outing. Goes very well when fresh from a spell, scoring on three occasions from six starts. Should feature in the finish. GOLDEN SICKLE (5) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on July 28 and finished 12th behind Surjay over 1200m in the G1 Mercury Sprint at Greyville. Should be prominent from the outset. Will be in this for a long way. RULERSHIP (4) didn't threaten when resuming last start over 1160m in the G3 Merchants at this track, finishing sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Second up record is sound. Can improve sharply here.

On a three run winning streak. Comes here off a 35-day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 1.3 len at this track November 11 over 1160m defeating William Robertson with 62kg at $2.30. The start before that favourite; won by 2 len at Vaal October 1 over 1100m defeating Cliff Hanger with 62kg at $1.70. This is well within his grasp.

Second run back. First-up after four months second last of 7 at Turffontein Inside on November 12 over 1000m, 4.5 len behind Magic Tattoo with 54.5kg at $5. Previously second-up ran last of 7 at this track on May 30 over 1000m, 11 len behind Dantonfromsandton carrying 59.5kg at $2.50. Should progress from that first-up run.
