Was ninth of 14, beaten 7l, over 6f at Turffontein (Grade 3) last month; from a respected stable; should be on the premises if able to find the same level as when recording last success and dropping in class.

Close up behind Dantonfromsandton when towards the rear at Turffontein back down to 6f last month in a Grade 3; looks likely to go well if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and dropping in class.

Came out on top by 1l (draw was no help, Turffontein) last month in a handicap; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win) and in great form recently; looks likely to go well.

From a powerful yard and career record shows her ability to win (wins-runs record of 4-15); didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Turffontein (beaten 5l) in a Listed handicap race last month; she takes on the boys here; jockey booking is a positive; class drop is a plus; has claims.

Verdict

Palace Prince is one that needs plenty of respect, and Care Forgot and Slinky Mapimpi could be ones to consider. However, MASTER CHRISTMAS looks set for a big run. He was disappointing last time although that may have been only a blip and has been successful at this track before.
