Blazing Sky, Line In The Sky and Lady Fortezza to battle for the lead at a strong tempo. GREEN EXTREME (3) was well supported last start over 1000m at this track and finished second of 10 as the hot favourite. Craig Zackey stays on and she looks well placed to atone. TRAIL RUNNER (1) is a three-start maiden who is close to a win following two recent third placings, the latest over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Has the pace to settle in the leading division and has each-way claims. TIPPERARY (2) ran well below expectations last time out after being in the firing line on the turn at Turffontein Standside, finishing fifth of seven as the favourite. Nicely placed to return to form. BLINDFIRE (14) was lining up for just the second time last start when third of seven over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Jumps from an inside draw and in a fitter state is in the mix.
