Southern Charm

J: L J Ferraris

T: M F De Kock

Never landed a blow when third of six here over 7f two weeks ago; fitted with blinkers for the first time; looks likely to go well if reproducing the form of her win at Turffontein Inside in September

Ulla

J: M V'Rensburg

T: S T Pettigrew

Out of the frame beaten 4l (went off 18-1) in a fillies handicap (at Vaal Classic over this distance) latest; has won multiple times on a straight course and has won here; expected to be in the thick of things if in the same mood as when runner-up six races back

Mind Reader

Beaten narrowly when second favourite (fillies handicap) at Vaal Classic latest over this distance; has won here before and has strung together a series of consistent efforts; ought to be on the premises

Towards The Sun

J: J Solomons ⁶

This looks tight. Ulla certainly isn't out of it while Southern Charm looks an obvious danger, but the verdict goes to MIND READER who has proved consistent of late and has won over this CD.
