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

Solid tempo expected primarily from Glamorous Lady and Hoc Est Vita. INTO DANCING (1) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 2000m at Turffontein Inside, getting home by one length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. AMERICAN BEAUTY (2) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at Vaal two starts back then landed the prize by a long neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Kabelo Matsunyane scored on her last time and retains the ride. Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce. SIKELOI (6) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a long neck away in second over 1800m at Turffontein Inside when she was in the firing line all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HOC EST VITA (8) finished fifth last time out over 1600m at Greyville, beaten 6 lengths. Should run very well.
