Harrys Secret to take up the running at a moderate tempo. CHLORIS (2) hit the frame last time out when third over 1400m at Turffontein Standside and will drop in weight for this. Jockey Craig Zackey knows her well having been aboard her last four rides. Bold showing expected. BATTLE FORCE (4) won last time at this track, scoring by 1.75 lengths and races over the same trip here. Gets some weight relief this time. Has a win and two placings at this journey from four starts and a bold showing is expected. PUTINS PROMISE (3) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just one from 16 starts but has been in the money on eight occasions. Form here sound including a win and four placings from seven starts and rates one of the contenders. HARRYS SECRET (5) was fifth last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. One of the likely contenders.
