The big field should ensure a genuine tempo. LONGSWORD (5) stayed on well when fourth of nine over 1000m on the Inside course last time. He has won once, finished second twice and third once from seven starts on this course. If not in need of this run may find himself in the winner's enclosure. BLIZZARD SNOW (12) rallied late when winning her last start over this course and distance. Richard Fourie is booked to ride and she should give the males a decent run for their money. HEMISPHERE (13) returned from a spell last start and scored over 1000m at this track. Has sold each-way claims. VIBE SA (7) resumes from a spell. Worth noting he placed when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. Include in combinations.
