A strong gallop is likely with Trip Of Faith and American Beauty taking up the running, closely attended by Lady Elliot and Littlemisssplendid. TRIP OF FAITH (3) was a most impressive winner last time over 1200m at Turffontein Inside, scoring by 3.5 lengths. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Comes through a hot form race and with less weight can make it back to back wins. AMERICAN BEAUTY (1) found one better last start at Turffontein Standside over 1600m after she was prominent at the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Has a high cruising speed. Best figures should see her run well. LADY ELLIOT (9) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing third over 1450m at this track last time out. Should park just off the speed. One to consider. FISH HAWK (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
