Sosoru should lead at a keen tempo. SOSORU (6) went keenly on debut and weakened late. Back in trip and has good early speed so should take catching this time. SLENDER SILHOUETTE (8) was well fancied when resuming last start over 1000m at Vaal when third, beaten 3 lengths. Will improve and is worth another chance. WISH YOU WERE HERE (7) is facing the starter for the first time. By Soqrat and comes from the Weiho Marwing stable. Expect a bold run. HAMMER BLOW (3) finished 19 lengths away in tenth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on February 7 after he gave away a big start. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race.
