G1 – 1200m – Turf

1

Gladatorian

Showed tremendous guts and determination to win at long odds last time. He gets pole position and can follow up but others are preferred for the win here.

2

Sheela

Is a very talented filly that can make her presence felt in a big way. Her last win in a Pinnacle was impressive and she must be respected.

3

Danilo Danilovitch

Shows pace, won well last time and could be the value for the quartet. Do not ignore.

4

Gimme A Prince

Has solid form and won cozily last time. He is packed with ability and is one of the leading lights in this. Strong chance.

5

Val D’Orcia

Is taking time to win but has changed stables recently and showing a form return. A tad more needed for the win but he could pop up – respect.

6

Thunderstruck

Is knocking loudly at the door but taking time for the next win. He comes from a top yard and gets the services of a top rider. He must be included in most bets.

7

Surjay

There is no doubt that his draw was his downfall last time and he is much better drawn in this. He should go close and a huge effort can be expected from him. Big chance.

8

Cabinet Shuffle

Is knocking at the door but does take a rise in class. He is facing his toughest test to date and is hard to select against these.

9

Isivunguvungu

Won the Computaform Sprint on the Highveld two runs back and returned to the province and won again. He is a quality individual that rates the one to beat.

10

Pearl Of Asia

Is off form at the moment but has shown ability before that. He would be a surprise winner.

11

William Robertson

Is seldom far off the action and has ability. He needs to improve a touch on his recent form but can never be dismissed. Place chance.

12

Silver Operator

Ran a fair race last time but is becoming hard to assess. He has ability but is taking time to get it all right again. A must however, for the quartet.

13

Seeking The Stars

Will find it tough from the draw, is currently off form and others are preferred.
