Expecting a strong pace from the outset with plenty of speed engaged. STORMY SEAS (2) ran on strongly when winning his last start over this distance at Turffontein. Apprentice Trent Mayhew takes the 4kgs off his back and jumping from an inside gate can repeat the dose. SIBERIAN STEEL (1) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage sixth over 1000m at Turffontein Standside. In this line-up has top-three prospects. IN THE ETHER (4) has been racing consistently and should be about the mark again after a last start fourth of 13 at Turffontein Standside. Sure to make her presence felt. PRIZED PLATINUM (5) was a narrow winner by a head last time out at this track. Drops in weight and should prove hard to beat again.
