Pace looks strong as Stormy Seas presses on from an outside draw, joining Lagertha. ICE EATER (1) continues to race well without a win, making it 3 straight minors after another last time at this track. Honest record at this distance including two wins and looks a top chance to break the place streak. LAGERTHA (6) hasn't been able to break through recently but looks close to a win on last start second at this track over 1200m. Form here sound including a win and three placings from six starts and should be in the finish. SAVIOUR (3) can make another winning return after scoring first-up last prep by 1.75 lengths at this track over 1000m. Has a strong winning strike rate at this distance with two wins from four runs and is expected to run well. STORMY SEAS (5) recorded a gutsy maiden success last time out over 1000m at Turffontein Standside, winning by a nose. Has good early pace and is not to be discounted.
