Hot pace certain with Chasing Happiness, Ready To Charge and Cosmic Star keen to take up the running. ONE FELL SWOOP (7) showed good speed last time to race on the speed but found one too good on the day. She won her only attempt on this course. Gavin Lerena retains the ride and she can return to winning form. MAGIC TATTOO (6) is better than his last start run would suggest. On his previous form has each-way claims. MOUNT PINATUBO (8) won a good race over 1200m on the Turffontein Inside course last time. He returns from a spell and if not in need of the run, he should give a good account of himself. CHASING HAPPINESS (1) lifted strongly when winning fresh-up by a nose three runs back at Turffontein Standside. Expected to be competitive here.
