WITHIN REACH (4) First up today. Narrowly beaten last start at Vaal. K De Melo is a crucial engagement. Strong chance. IMPRESSIVE (2) Shot clear to win by nearly 3 1/2L last run at Vaal. Showing great form this preparation. Could pose a threat and expected to go very close. SECRET FATE (3) Finished 3rd last start around here. Has shown early pace in races to date. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Good chance and wouldn't be surprised to see it pick up a win. QUEEN LEILA (1) Snagged a narrow win last time at this venue and displaying improvement over the past few runs. Displays good tactical speed. In fine form since returning from a spell. Gets a chance to win.

Put a gap on the rest when winning by just short of 3 1/2L last run at Vaal. Racing consistently since returning from a break. Solid chance.

Looked good when 3rd last start here. Likely to be well placed early. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Should put in a decent effort.

Back from a break. Close to claiming the win last start at Vaal. K De Melo is a suitable booking. Will go close today.

Started at $26.00 and came in 6th last run at this track but was a debutant last start. Likely to get back. Has a nice advantage with a good draw. Highly unlikely to feature here.

Resuming after a spell. Jumped at $29.00 and unsatisfactory performance when 5th last time around here but having second career run. Racing over a longer distance. Goes down in weight. Will be tested in this.
