|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Ada Lovelace, Sergeant Soqrat and Executrix leading the way. SLENDER SILHOUETTE (4) finished fourth over 1000m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. LEGENDARY (8) finished ninth two runs back at Vaal then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths as favourite over 1400m at Vaal. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. COLD SHINE (1) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by a neck over 1200m at Vaal. Open to plenty of improvement and looks a big threat to the top selection. ADA LOVELACE (6) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1200m at Vaal, finishing second and beaten a head. Suitably placed so anticipating another bold showing.
