Lots of speed predominantly from Blindfire, Princess Of All and Power Of Pearls. TEMPRANILLO (1) returns after a spell of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at Vaal. Won only try course and distance. Has found the right race. JAZZ PIANIST (3) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in third over 1000m at Vaal. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. BLINDFIRE (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 22 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1000m at Vaal, beaten 4.5 lengths. Likely contender with strong prospects. POWER OF PEARLS (6) broke her maiden last start over 1000m at Greyville All Weather when resuming, scoring by one length. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.
