Started $41.00 and below standard effort when 11th last run at this track but was on debut last time. Likely to settle back in the field. Not ready for this level.

Jumped at $101.00 and was ordinary when 6th last run at Turffontein but having second career run. Should muster plenty of early speed. Drawn nicely. Would not recommend.

Was $13.00 and only fair when 10th last time at this venue but having second race start. Might have to make up considerable ground. Gets the perfect stall. Lines up against a competitive field.

Started at $101.00 and finished 5th last time here. Should be rolling forward early from the wide draw. Difficult to warm to at present.

Ran 3rd last start at the track and was a debutant last start. Can't leave out of your calculations.
