Fort Red, Jet A One and Bonne Bouche to match motors but there will be other pressure. WINTER PEARL (3) bounced back last start and scored by a long neck as favourite over 1250m at Durbanville. Aided by the big claim and no reason he cannot repeat the dose. JET A ONE (7) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1250m at Durbanville, beaten only a long neck. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. BONNE BOUCHE (6) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten 0.8 lengths into second over 1250m at Durbanville. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One to consider. OZARK (1) followed an unplaced effort two starts back with a third last start over 1250m at Durbanville. Nicely placed to take this out.
