Listed – 1000m – Turf
1 | No Filter | Shows plenty of pace and showed up well from a wide draw on the polytrack last time out. Has a place chance. |
2 | Mover And Shaker | Comes with modest Turffontein form and a big weight. The trainers only runner on the day but an unlikely winner. |
3 | Address The Nation | Has a light weight but has been running below par of late. Would be a surprise winner. |
4 | Un Bel Di | Was a distant second under only 106lb last time out getting 16lb from the winner. However, the fourth horse that day has come out and won so cannot be written off lightly. |
5 | Donquerari | Solid handicapper who finished third in this race last year. He goes well over the trip and with a handy galloping weight he could finish in the money again. |
6 | Rodeo Drive | Quick filly who has not been far back in recent outings. Whether she is good enough to feature here only the race will tell but she gets Keagan de Melo aboard which is a big plus. |
7 | Outlaw King | Has been taking on a lot stronger at his last two and not far back. He may prefer it a touch further but takes a big drop in class and should have a strong chance in this line-up. |
8 | Symphony In White | Smart filly who raced in G1 company last time out and was hampered in the running. Raced in Scottsville last two starts and is one-for-one over the distance. Definite winning chance. |
9 | Future Variety | Cruised home on the polytrack last run when having much in his favour. Goes well over the trip although he does have a wide draw to contend with. Bit more to do here. |
10 | Chocolate Soldier | Super quick and back over his favourite distance. Has useful form in G1 company and should be contesting the lead early on but will be hard-pressed in the finish. |
11 | King Of The Gauls | Last year’s winner but most disappointing last run. However, he showed good pace in the G2 Golden Horse before tiring late and this shorter trip will suit. Wide draw but at best will go close. |
12 | Lion Rampart | Has his second run for the stable and comes off some useful Cape form over the distance. He could be up against King Of The Gauls and Chocolate Soldier for the lead, all three drawn wide. Needs some luck in running. |
13 | Hithemhardsunshine | Ran his best recent race at his penultimate outing when second over course and distance starting at odds of 100-1. From his deep draw he will need to repeat that performance coupled with some luck in running if he is to make an impression. |
