Comments

Resumed with a determined MPLTE win at Turffontein Inside, beating Baldur by a long neck after attracting some support despite long odds. That was a clear step in the right direction after a heavy defeat at this track the start prior. He has a win and two placings from eight starts around 1200m, draws barrier 1 and gets a 2.5kg claim, so he has enough in his favour to hold genuine place claims.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing second last at this track in a FM BM69, beaten just under ten lengths by Me And You. Her run prior was a 12th in BM74 grade when beaten over 18 lengths, so the recent form is hard to recommend. A past placing at this track and distance is some background, but she must lift sharply to trouble these.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after ending her last campaign with a strong FM MPLTE win at this track, beating Alittlebitoflove by just over four lengths at long odds. The start prior was an eighth behind Xtatic, so she has mixed form lines, but the latest win was decisive. Callan Murray has a win and two placings from five rides on her, and that partnership keeps her in the place mix.

Comments

Was safely held when sixth in a CUP at Turffontein Inside last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Spy Story at generous odds. He had also finished seventh in a NOV at this track the run prior, so the immediate form is not strong. His 1200m record includes a win and a placing, and the 2.5kg claim helps, but he profiles as a rough each-way hope only if he finds his earlier level.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing last of seven at Turffontein Inside, beaten six and a half lengths by Navaseven despite firming from opening levels. His previous run was a tenth in BM66 grade at this track, beaten over 11 lengths, and he was also beaten by Time Will Tell earlier this campaign. His broader 1200m record gives some hope, but he has to show far more fresh.

Comments

Comes off the strongest recent profile, having run third at this track in BM66 company last start when beaten a length by Master's Lady and sitting near the top of betting. His fourth behind Willow Charm in BM74 grade at Turffontein Standside also reads well for this. He has placed five times from nine starts at this track and distance, and that consistency makes him the runner they have to beat.
