Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. CHASING HAPPINESS (7) showed good speed when winning her last start over 1200m on the Inside course. She won her only attempt over this distance. With Gavin Lerena in the saddle and she may be the one to side with. TROMPIE (1) was in need of his last start over this course and distance. He would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. He gets the services of 4kgs claiming apprentice Nirvan Nastili and has each-way claims. LINKIN NAVIGATOR (6) won a game race in his last start over this distance on the Inside course. He returns from a 19-week spell which would have done him the world of good. If not in need of the run, he should be fighting out the finish. LAW OF SUCCESS (9) was below her best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 1000m at Vaal. Best figures measure up nicely. Has solid top-three claims.
