Strong pace from Willow Charm and Sabalenka matching motors with Captain's Express close at hand. SABALENKA (8) gave a sight and fought on well on debut over 1200m at Vaal. Likely improver so she will prove tough to beat. PERIODIC TABLE (5) is on debut for the J A Janse Van Vuuren stable. Three-year-old gelding by Danon Platina from Purely Atomic. One to keep close tabs on, particularly if popular with punters. ARIZONA MAGIC (3) has been in the money three times including last start on March 7 when second over 1160m at this track. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this circuit. Must be included. WILLOW CHARM (2) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1450m at Vaal. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around.
