|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of speed with Captive Prince, Kaz From Alcatraz and Director leading Good Omen and Bourbon's Beast. DIRECTOR (3) returned last time with a solid third at Scottsville over 1400m. Close to breaking through. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance. GOOD OMEN (7) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1400m at Scottsville. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BLACK PLATINA (8) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1600m, beaten half a length. Dezahn Louw has registered four minor placings when on board. Has placed last six runs including 2/2 course and distance. Worth following up. PRINCESS TRIPPI (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4 lengths away in third over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
