Good pace with Sonic Jet, Grandi Orecchie and Destiny Of Fire matching motors. SONIC JET (5) is a distance specialist who scored as they favourite last start after being in the firing line into the turn over 1450m at this track. Taking on a better field but she is capable of another big run. DESTINY OF FIRE (9) resumes from a spell. Won on debut last prep over 1200m at Scottsville. Has solid each-way claims. SCARS OF WAR (10) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race last start over 1600m at Greyville. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and is well worth considering. POINTER (7) was prominent at the turn and finished third last time over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Will trim down following recent racing and should be fighting out the finish.
