Solid tempo with Honorable Member leading from Global Ally and Heemstede. GLOBAL ALLY (1) turned in a modest performance when sixth last time out over 1800m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. That followed a win at Fairview All Weather at the previous outing. The engagement of Richard Fourie is noteworthy. Well off best last time but will find this easier. Nicely placed to make amends. SONG TO THE MOON (5) failed to run a strong 2000m last start after a close second over 1800m at Kenilworth the run prior. Freshened for this so worth another chance. HONORABLE MEMBER (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on January 16, finishing sixth and beaten 16 lengths over 1600m at this track. Speedy type who has the figures to win. Bold performance expected. HEEMSTEDE (6) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1900m at Fairview All Weather. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Solid claims on best form.
