Favourite and just beaten over 7f at Scottsville (maiden plate) 39 days ago; seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; very interesting as recent effort was encouraging.

Has maintained his consistent level of form and appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; a narrow runner-up at 9-4 here over 1m (maiden plate) last Thursday; latest effort was encouraging so shouldn't be far away.

Losing run totals 13 but best form so far in last two starts; had a couple of these behind him when third here over 1m2f (maiden plate) last month; can't be ruled out as recent display was promising.

Hardly a model of consistency; behind Phil The Fluter over 1m here (maiden plate) when finishing last of ten a week ago; probably unlikely to trouble the principals given many of his rivals are in good form.

Yet to win after 24 starts; split Heroic Act (third) and Gift Of Royal (last) when beaten 19l (sixth of seven) 23 days ago upped to 1m2f; this is competitive and looks risky.

Four-race maiden though does have a second place to her name; not beaten too far when fourth at Turffontein (dropped to 7f) two weeks ago in a maiden juvenile plate; only female in race; gets an age allowance.

Verdict

PIONEER SQUARE is strongly fancied to come out on top. This distance may be a bit longer than Phil The Fluter wants, and Heroic Act is capable of running well.
