Strong pace from Inafix and Red Hot Kisses matching motors with Phala Millions close at hand. INAFIX (1) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 3 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. TIGER STORM (2) ran another good race last time when second over 1000m at Turffontein Inside, beaten 1.75 lengths. Among the better chances. TIME FOR CHARITY (8) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten a neck into second over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Has won two races at this course and distance from six tries. One of the main contenders. THERE SHE GOES (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on November 27 when beaten 2 lengths into fourth at Turffontein Inside over 1000m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
