Good early tempo with several going forward, primarily Soldier's Eye, Faizah and Mauritania. SOLDIER'S EYE (1) was unlucky not to have won her last start as she was tightened for galloping room between the 400m mark and the 200m mark. She is having her peak run today and with luck in the running she can go one better. ZINIKELE (5) was given a gun ride when winning her last start over 1800m on the polytrack. She is at her best on the polytrack surface but she is in a good space and can't be ignored. DANSE MILORD (11) produced a good effort last start when finishing second of nine over 1800m at Greyville All Weather to make it three placings from three starts this prep. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and rates well as a leading chance. CAPETOWN BEAUTY (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third of nine over 1400m at Scottsville. Meets a stronger field here but has place prospects.
