Only a small field with Read All About It likely to find a comfortable lead. GERBERA (5) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1800m at Turffontein Standside when beaten 1.5 lengths. Great chance to find the winners' enclosure. READ ALL ABOUT IT (6) was well fancied last time but could only manage third over 2000m at this track. Freshened for this. Shapes as one to consider. CHESTNUT BOMBER (3) was beaten 4 lengths into seventh over 1800m at this track four weeks ago. Well placed to turn things around. ENFLAME (1) has plenty of ability and was taking on tougher races last time in. Capable of a big run fresh.
