Track: GOOD   Clear (Max: 24)    

Hot pace certain with Jet Querari, Red Sea Hills and Iconic Winter keen to take up the running. SYLVAN WARRIOR (7) showed very good improvement when second over this course and distance last time. He was running on well at the finish that day. If repeating that effort, he should be the one to beat. ICONIC WINTER(6) produced a promising debut effort over 1160m at Turffontein last start. She returns from a spell and if not in need of the run should be involved in the fight to the finish. JET QUERARI (3) is better than his last start run would suggest as he was reported to be not striding out. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. He may be hard to peg back. RINGHO (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish third of 12 over 1000m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.

Recent form sound. Most recently 3rd of 12 at this track on April 15 over 1000m, 0.7 len behind Kaalvoet carrying 60kg at $34. The run before that 4th of 8 at Turffontein Standside on March 22 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Hemisphere carrying 60kg at $17. Not far away last time. Worth plenty of thought.
