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. |
