ECHOES OF WAR (4) Amongst the placegetters when 2nd last run at this venue and on an upward trajectory in recent races. Won't be far away during the run. Looks promising in this race. SERGEANT SOQRAT (3) Chimed in with a win by 1L last time at Turffontein but up in weight. Expect to go close. MASTER'S LADY (2) Finished 2nd last start at the track but rises in weight. Goes very close. TIME WILL TELL (5) Racing on a quick back up. Finished 4th last start at Turffontein but can find a nice position from the draw. Likely to get back in the run. Must come into consideration.

Has been safely held at his past two, finishing last in a BM74 at this track when beaten five and a half lengths at big odds. The start prior was no stronger, with a sixth in BM86 grade at Turffontein Inside when unwanted in the market and beaten eight lengths. He is a proven 1000m runner with a strong history at the trip, but current form makes him hard to recommend.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Arrives in solid form after finishing second in an FM BM74 at this track, beaten just under two lengths in a small field. That followed a head win at Turffontein Standside in FM MPLTE company when she beat Midnight Special at generous odds. Her record is more place-heavy than win-focused, including five placings from eight this track-and-distance attempts, so she profiles as a genuine minor-money hope.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Returns from a two-month freshening after a strong BM72 win at Turffontein Inside, where he firmed notably and beat Taking A Risk by just over a length. He had already shown the form was coming by running second to Trompe L'Oeil at this venue in RBH74 grade. With one win and two placings from three starts this season, plus a recent edge over Time Will Tell, he sets the standard.

Went close in a BM74 at this track last start, finishing second to Lonely As A Cloud and beaten just under a length after easing near the top of an open market. Two back he was fourth behind Sergeant Soqrat at Turffontein Inside, beaten three and a half lengths after market support. His record at this venue is sound, and he can hold a prominent place in the finish.

Comes back quickly after finishing fourth in a BM74 over 1160m at Turffontein Standside, beaten four and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. His previous third in Open grade at this track was stronger, and the return to 1000m suits his profile. With one win and two placings from four this track-and-distance runs, he is a major threat.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after being beaten over 18 lengths in Open grade at this track, a run that is hard to excuse on the supplied evidence. His previous third in BM66 company at this venue was far better, and his three wins at this track and distance give him a base. Even so, he must rebound sharply from a heavy last-start defeat.

Recent efforts leave her with plenty to find, having finished last in a BM66 at this track when beaten over 18 lengths. The run prior was also plain, with a sixth at Turffontein Inside in FM BM81 company when beaten over 11 lengths at generous odds. She has been unplaced in all three starts at this track and distance, so a major turnaround is required.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Finished last in a CUP at Turffontein Inside last start, beaten over 12 lengths after being only an outside chance in betting. That followed a sixth in BM66 company at this track, beaten just under six lengths despite sitting near the top of betting. She has won at both the distance and this venue, but her current form leaves a clear improvement task.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a fifth in BM66 grade at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths in a small field. The start prior, also before the break, she was eighth at Turffontein Standside and unwanted in the market. Her past 12 months include two wins and three placings from 14 starts, which keeps her in the place mix fresh.
