Fast pace assured with Blindfire, Wings Of Kildra and Waiting On Charlie leading the charge. LOVABLE (5) is coming off a last-start fourth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Back in grade and placed only try course and distance. Capable of a better run. TAKING A RISK (12) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Turffontein Standside, finishing third and only 1.4 lengths from the winner at the end of 1000m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. QUIET WINTER (3) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Has to be respected. JAZZ PIANIST (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Fitter so can figure in the finish.
