Cronus

Finished seventh, beaten a fair way over 6f here (maiden plate) dropped back in distance over Christmas; some promise; closest he has come to winning after six starts was a third and from powerful stable.

Flower Road

J: C Habib

T: A P Peter

Third of ten at the first time of asking at Vaal over 7f at 10-1 in 2024; been off the track a long time; if building on promise shown first time out can't be ruled out.

Top Floor

J: C Murray

Left backers frustrated on his debut, flopping at 14-5 over 6f here last May; room for improvement; returns from an absence here.

17 May 25	Tur Turffontein	6f	Md	9-6	9/12	Victory In Orleans (5¼L)	28/10	-	-

This looks a competitive race but it can pay to side with STATUS. He made an encouraging debut. Flower Road is expected to take a forward step, Gimmethespotlight rates a serious threat, and Scented Path could have a say.
