Comes back into a more suitable set-up after finishing fifth in a FM BM79 at Turffontein Standside, beaten five and a half lengths at long odds. She had also been unwanted when sixth the run prior, so the recent form is plain. The positives are stronger here: barrier 1, a 2.5kg claim and one win from three tries at this track and distance give her a sound winning platform if she rebounds.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Arrives in consistent form after running third in a CUP at Turffontein Inside, beaten a length by Spy Story at generous odds. That followed another third at this track when beaten just under two lengths, and she has now placed in four of five runs this season. The top weight asks something, but the winning rider returns and her current form makes her the runner they have to beat.

Backs up quickly after a solid third in a CUP at this track, beaten a length and a half by Gunboat after attracting support despite long odds. His previous fifth over 1800m at Turffontein Inside was well held, but the return to this distance and a one win, two placings from six track-and-distance record are important positives. He brings a strong winning case if he holds last week's form.

Was last of eight in a FM BM79 at Turffontein Standside, beaten over 13 lengths and unwanted in the market. The run prior was little better when second last in BM66 grade and beaten over 10 lengths. A class drop and past track win offer some context, but she is unplaced from three track-and-distance attempts and must lift sharply.

Has been beaten a long way at her past two starts, most recently second last in a FM MPLTE at this track when beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. She was also last at this venue the start prior and remains winless from 24 starts overall. The weight relief is a small positive, but her current form and track record leave her with plenty to find.

Finished eighth in a CUP at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths by Gunboat, which was a fairer effort than the finishing position suggests. He had been fourth in BM66 grade two back but still beaten eight and a half lengths. The time-rating angle keeps him in the place discussion, though an unplaced record from eight track-and-distance runs tempers the winning case.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth in a BM66 at this track, beaten just under five lengths at long odds. He was also sixth at Turffontein Standside the run prior and has been unplaced in all five starts across the past 12 months. The class drop and prior track win help, but the recent profile points more to a minor chance than a strong winning play.

Returns from a three-month break after ending her last campaign with a ninth at this track, beaten over 10 lengths by Nkandla Gold. She had also finished seventh at Turffontein Standside the start prior, so the recent race form is not compelling. Her one win and two places from four starts at this venue are the saving grace, but she will have to return in better order.

Returns from a lengthy spell, last seen finishing sixth in a Handicap at Turffontein Standside when near the top of an open market. His previous third in BM70 grade at Turffontein Inside was a stronger reference, beaten just over two lengths by Unsolved Riddle. He has two wins and eight placings around this distance, so fitness is the main unknown in a place-focused profile.

Backs up quickly after finishing second last in a CUP at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Gunboat as an outside chance in the betting. Two back he was second at Turffontein Inside, but that was still a six-length defeat at big odds. His track-and-distance record is respectable, though he has to produce a much cleaner finish to trouble the main hopes.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a fifth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths in FM BM69 grade. She had been sixth at this venue the start prior, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds, and is unplaced from four starts in the past 12 months. The class drop helps her set-up, but the wide barrier and recent form make this a tough task.

Has not been disgraced in stronger mares races, finishing ninth in a FM CUP at this track last start but beaten only four and a half lengths. The start prior she was fifth in a FM BM72 at Turffontein Inside, again not far from the placings at long odds. Chase Maujean returning is important given his three wins aboard her, and she has the right profile to run into a minor placing.
