Blindfire, Magic Carpet Ride and Catfish to match motors but there will be other pressure. CATFISH (9) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 6 lengths. That was open class though. Goes very well course and distance. This much easier and can atone. TAKING A RISK (10) has been in the placings her past two starts, finishing second over 1000m at this track last time out. Commendable record at this trip with a win and five minor placings and shapes as a key contender. TWENTYTWENTYVISION (15) is on a 10-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. Strong run last time and a bold showing is likely. HAMMER BLOW (8) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1000m contest at this track last time out by a neck. Has sound form here including a win and two minor placings from five starts. Hard to knock.
