Spirit Of Levana

J: B Soodoo ⁶

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just under 4l) in a stakes race last month; ought to give it a shot as shown some signs of promise.

Baton Rouge

J: G Samo-Burthia ⁶

T: P Botha

Held when sixth of seven three months ago at Kenilworth in a stakes race; posted a good effort at this track whensecond five months ago and has run well here recently without winning; likely to be in contention as finished second at Durbanville three runs ago.

This is not a race for maximum stakes - Spirit Of Levana and Run For Cover certainly aren't out of it while Baton Rouge is on the shortlist. However, it's hard to get away from BACKINTHEFASTLANE. He will be suited by this distance and can capitalise on a nice draw.
