Many of these babies step out for the first time so a strong pace is anticipated. CATFISH (1) is long overdue for a win placing all five career starts so far, the latest when second over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Has his share of ability. Gets chance. LIGHTINTHEWOODS (9) is a two-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. By leading sire Gimmethegreenlight out of Group 2 winner Fairyinthewoods. Is one of the main hopes. KOVIL (3) is appearing for the first time. By Malmoos and comes from the Mano Pandaram stable. Watch for a betting push. WHATSDAMATTERWITHU (7) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when sixth in a 1160m contest at Turffontein Standside a month ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
