Fast tempo assured with Art Nouveau, Magic Maverick and Sheezarocket going at each other early in the piece. TAKATALVI (6) has shown good improvement in each of her races to date. She set the pace over this distance at Scottsville last time and stayed on to finish third. The daughter of Last Winter is coming along the right way and if suited to this surface, she should shed her maiden tag. CORAL BLAZE (5) ran a good race when second in her stable debut over 1500m on the Turffontein Inside course. She would have come on from the run and if this outing has not come too soon, she should be hard to beat. MAGIC MAVERICK (2) is better than her last start at Scottsville as the jockey reported something to be amiss. She finished third in her only attempt over this distance. The daughter of Horizon is having her peak run and if suited to the polytrack, she should be involved in the fight to the finish. GALE FORCE NINE (4) is an unraced daughter of Last Winter from the Alyson Wright stable with Athandiwe Mgudlwa in the saddle. A market watch is advised.
