Comments

Went within a head of Precocious in an Open over 1200m at this track last start, confirming he is close to another win. The run prior as a heavily backed favourite over 1600m at Turffontein Standside was only fair, but his broader profile of two wins and four places from nine starts is strong. Back in this grade, race fit and proven competitive at the trip, he has the right credentials to take beating.

Comments

Returns from a five-month break after ending last campaign second last behind Errol Flynn over 1600m at Turffontein Standside, beaten a long way at long odds. His previous sixth behind Money Heist was more respectable, and he brings an excellent 1200m record with two wins and a placing from three attempts. That profile gives him a place case, but he has to return sharper than he left off.

Comments

Returns from a five-month break after finishing eighth behind Get Up at Scottsville, beaten seven and a half lengths when an outside chance in the betting. She had also been safely held the run before, but two wins from four starts overall and two wins from three on good tracks keep her relevant. Her best early form is good enough for a placing, provided she comes back in that style.

Comments

Returns from a six-month break after finishing last at Turffontein Standside, beaten over 10 lengths when well-supported near the top of betting. The prior third behind Better Never Ends was far more encouraging, and his 1200m record of a win and a placing from two starts is a genuine positive. Barrier one can help him be more effective fresh, though he profiles as a place hope rather than a leading win chance.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing sixth at Vaal, beaten just over five lengths by Charming Cheetah when only an outside chance in betting. The start prior at Kenilworth was weaker again, and he is unplaced from four runs in the past 12 months. The apprentice claim and class drop offer some assistance, but he will have to lift sharply to worry the main hopes.

Comments

Made a better return than the market expected when fourth at this venue in an FM Benchmark 98, beaten three and a half lengths at long odds. Her prior run came in stronger three-year-old fillies' company at Greyville, so she has been kept to a solid level of racing. With weight relief, an apprentice claim and a class drop all in her favour, she has a strong chance to turn that fresh run into a winning challenge.

Returns from a five-month break after a heavy defeat behind Get Up at Scottsville, where she finished 14th and was beaten over 13 lengths at big odds. Her previous second to Good Day Sunshine at Turffontein Standside, beaten only a long neck, reads much better and shows she can be competitive at this level. The last-start margin makes her hard to trust, but her best form gives her an outside place chance.
