Cracking tempo looks assured with many of these capable of pushing on early. POINTER (1) is better than her last start run would suggest as she was reported to be not striding out. She has won twice and finished second twice from five starts over this course and distance. Apprentice Nirvan Nastili takes the 2.5kgs off her back and if putting her best foot forward, she can return to winning form. KINDRED HEART (2) ran a fair race over 1200m at the Vaal last time. She finished second in her only attempt over this course and distance. She is likely to race on the speed and may be hard to peg back. BLIZZARD SNOW (6) was given a gun ride when winning her last start over this course and distance. She is in a good space and merits healthy respect. HONG KONG (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race when finishing fourth if 15 last time out over 1160m at this track. Well worth an each-way chance.
