Strong tempo with Naval Officer, Owner Of Creation and Director leading the way. GREEK HEIRESS (1) is yet to break through after nine starts. Placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1600m at Greyville All Weather. Placed only try course and distance. Back to the turf. Draws the inside and should take beating.
GOOD OMEN (2) has been in the money four times including last start on March 11 when third over 1200m at this track. Has a sound record here with three top-three finishes from six starts. A maiden win looks imminent. NAVAL OFFICER (3) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing fifth at this track over 1200m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Plenty of scope for improvement and worth following up. TAYLOR'S VERSION (5) finished 10 lengths away in seventh at her last appearance over 1600m at Greyville All Weather on March 8. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
