Flashy Apache

J: M Yeni

T: T Zackey

Strong showing at this venue when last five weeks ago; upped to 1m2f in a handicap when last of seven latest (Turffontein Inside); something to find with Willow's Wish (third) on that performance; handicapper easing the burden; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and expected to be in the thick of things

Bold Fortune

J: D De Gouveia

Beaten 7l when finishing in the wake of Zuzan two weeks ago at Turffontein Standside and unable to land a blow in ninth; has had lots of chances since last win; is passed over

Zuzan

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

Too good for The Kop and Bey Suyay at Turffontein Standside 14 days ago when dropped to 7f, getting the job done by 1l; comes from a stable in form and needs to be respected

It looks a wide-open race but WILLOW'S WISH gets the vote. He is a multiple winner over this distance. The otherwise interesting Laguna Verde has a stamina query to answer at this trip.
