Loads of pressure, primarily from Flightlight, Artic Silver and Beverly Baby. CAPE SAFFRON (3) finished fourth of 10 at Turffontein Standside two starts back before finishing fourth of 10 over 1400m at Turffontein Standside last start when well supported. Jumping from the inside draw has winning claims. NKWENKWEZI (2) finished second last start over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Has enough pace to be in a prominent position from the outset and looks hard to beat. ARTIC SILVER (4) finished out of the money when fresh-up from a spell two runs back finished a close-up fourth over 1800m at Turffontein Standside last start when sent out as the hot favorite. Can atone. FLIGHTLIGHT (5) finished fourth of seven last start over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Has place claims.
