Found life tough when 6l back in fifth over C&D (handicap) in July; back from a break; the assessor relents a little; should not be far away as he finished third at Turffontein Inside five months ago

Samoa

J: C Habib

T: B H Stidolph

Gained plenty of wins on straight tracks and has winning form at this course; not beaten that far (4½l, went off 25-2) in a handicap at Vaal Classic latest running over this distance, the second won since; has been eased in the weights; has to be taken seriously as has shown signs of promise

Dancing Dora

J: D Schwarz

There's not much between those likely to be in the mix. Dark Tide may not be the force of old while Life Goes On has been hiked up the weights. However, preference is for IN THE ETHER who is a course winner and the form of her last race has been well advertised since.
