Genuine tempo from Status leading Top Floor. GIMMETHESPOTLIGHT (7) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.4 lengths adrift in second over 1600m at Vaal when coming back from a break. Can go on with it. QUEVANO (1) settled well back then made a little ground and finished 10 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1400m at Turffontein Standside a week-and-a-half ago. Steps up in distance today. Among the chances. STATUS (9) is back from a spell of 14 months. Debuted with a third, beaten 2 lengths, over 1450m at Vaal at his only appearance to date. Credentials hard to fault. TOP FLOOR (10) returns from a spell of nine months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Turffontein Standside over 1160m when first-up last time in work.
