THOONSIL (2) Ran 5th last time at this track. Has the potential to improve sharply. Should come to hand quickly. Has genuine claims in this race. GREENSIDE GIRL (7) Not up to scratch when 6th last run at this venue. Capable of bouncing back and goes down in weight. Hard to overlook. GREEN MACHINE (1) Just missed last time at Turffontein. Should bounce back and has a positive barrier. Likely to be well placed early. Expected to fight out the finish. COMIC ARTIST (6) Honest race when 2nd last start at the track. Has plenty of early speed. Blaine Marx Jacobson and Fabian Habib are consistently competitive when paired. Could win with the right run.

Was $12.00 and close up last time at Turffontein. Should bounce back and will try to take advantage of the barrier. Won't be far away during the run. Should give this a shake.

First up after a break of 57 weeks. Was $41.00 and mediocre display when 7th last run at the track but facing an increased distance. Looks too tough.

At $51.00 ordinary performance when 5th last start at the track but was on debut last time. Should race on the speed. Will be facing a challenge.

Was competitive when 2nd last start at the track. Should jump out and bowl along. Jockey Blaine Marx Jacobson and trainer Fabian Habib are an appealing combination. Should go very close.

Odds of $6.00 and underperformed when 6th last run at the track. Capable of bouncing back and dropping weight. Should progress and will be close.
