In the small field Lady Enid and Astrophile are expected to take up the running. ASTROPHILE (6) met with solid support last start over 1000m at this track when sixth, beaten 6 lengths. Did plenty wrong including an awkward start but has upside and looks a strong winning hope. SURREAL SONG (1) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was handy all the way over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Has the ability to find the winners' list. PENNYS CHOICE (2) finished eighth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1160m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. DIGIT DASH (3) is on debut. By Declarationofpeace and is out of the Brett Webber stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
