Miss River Dancer and Can't Catch Me to take up the running at a strong tempo. LIGHTINTHEWOODS (3) reunites with Muzi Yeni after scoring with ease over 1400m at Turffontein Standside last time. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Off the mark with an easy win last time and expected to measure up again. DELAWARE RIVER (1) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 2.75 lengths over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Finds a nice race and can atone. MISS RIVER DANCER (2) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.1 lengths over 1300m at this track. Shaping up nicely and she looks sure to be in the mix. CAN'T CATCH ME (8) ran a better race last start, finishing 3.5 lengths away in fourth over 1400m at Turffontein Standside. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
