|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Expecting a strong tempo over this journey. SWEET AND TRUE (9) is much better than his last start run for fifth of right on the polytrack would suggest. He tried hard when third over this course and distance in his penultimate outing. He has won once and finished third twice from as many starts over this course and distance and rates well as a main danger. SILVER SURFER (12) stayed on well when second over this course and distance last time. Resumes from a spell and meets a similar line-up here. Fresh-up is worth a second look. EXQUISITE (4) returns from a 19-week spell and is having her first run from the Alan Greeff stable. She has been disappointing since winning her maiden. The daughter of Rafeef gets the tongue-tie fitted and improvement is expected. Each-way chance. IGUGULETHU (5) has good recent form lines to his name. He has won twice and finished third twice from six starts on this course. Can't be discounted.
