Genuine tempo with the speedy Potberrie leading the way. PRESSONREGARDLESS (2) had excuses when galloped on two back. Bounced back last time. Jockey has won 3/4 rides while aboard. Big chance to go back-to-back. ALMOND SEA (3) came from well back on the bend and hit the line strongly to score over 1160m at Turffontein Standside last time out. One of the main contenders. DOITWITHDIAMONDS (5) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 1800m at Turffontein Standside on December 27. Record here is impressive with three wins from seven starts. Shapes as one to consider. WINDS OF CHANGE (10) travelled in a rearwards position and was disappointing over 1160m at Turffontein Standside last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run before. Big weight drop for this and has the inside. Can turn things around.
