Mocha Macaroon

J: N Klink

Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; fair effort when beaten 4½l, finishing fifth of nine here over 7f (maiden plate) last September; returns from a lengthy absence.

Cat O'Clock

J: G Lerena

T: A P Peter

Showing consistent form and although a maiden, she has shown ability; couldn't quite get the job done when 1-2 runner-up over 7f here (maiden plate) three weeks ago; recent display was promising so should give it a bold bid.

Sonic Jet

J: M Yeni

Fair effort five months ago in a maiden juvenile plate; returns from a layoff; encouraging jockey booking; looks likely to go well.

Radiant Heat

J: T Mayhew ⁶

T: C Spies

Was on the premises (finished second of seven) over 5f here (maiden plate) when dropped in distance two weeks ago; best form so far in last two starts but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 12.

Diamond Dash

J: D Schwarz

T: F Bronkhorst

Last of nine in a maiden juvenile plate upped to 7f at Turffontein in June; yet to manage better than eighth in her three races; shown nothing recently so easy enough to take on.

Artic Silver

J: C Zackey

T: S G Tarry

Related to 7½f winner Intrepid Act; trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; sire capable of getting smart offspring; newcomer by Querari; not discounted with signs of encouragement in profile and the stable is hot at the moment.

Fan The Flame

J: M K Katjedi

T: C Spies

Held on her debut here two weeks ago; work to do with Radiant Heat (runner-up) on that showing; could improve from first run although a leap forward required to win this.

Shamoon

J: M V'Rensburg

T: C Spies

Trainer can ready one; has to be considered as some good aspects to her profile and there is speed in the pedigree.

Winter Miracle

J: C Maujean

T: D N Stenger

Trainer is operating at a respectable strike-rate; bred on sire side to appreciate sprint distances; this daughter of What A Winter may not be sufficiently streetwise to hit the target first time up.

Age: 3

Weight: 9-4

Cat O'clock has some good efforts on the ledger but it is hard to get away from MISS LIA. Sonic Jet should be looked at, and Artic Silver looks the pick of the newcomers.
