|---|---|---|---|---|

A few on-pacers lining up so it should be keenly contested. DIMAKO'S JET (4) was unbeaten last time in including a last start win this course and distance. Expected to play a major role.. PALACE DANCER (6) got home by a neck last time out over 1800m at this track. Has three wins here. Lifted strongly to score course and distance last time and can make it back to back wins. MOUNT ETNA (8) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 1.75 lengths over 2000m at Turffontein Standside. Should be poised just off the lead. Winning claims on best figures. DOITWITHDIAMONDS (1) was beaten 3 lengths into fourth in a 2000m contest at Turffontein Standside at her latest appearance. Nicely placed to find some form.
