Wild As The Wind

J: C Habib

T: A G Laird

Already a gelding; shares a dam with Mr Hansen, a 6½f winner; the only newcomer in the field; sire gets his share of decent sorts; he shouldn't be far away with signs of encouragement in profile and there is speed in the pedigree.

Cosmic Cap

Flotilla

J: K Strydom

Silver Comet

J: B Marx-Jacobson ⁶

T: A P Peter

Evening News

T: S G Tarry

Form:

Age: 3

Weight: 9-6

OR: -

Days: -

There is not much between these on figures - Silver Comet and Flotilla are open to improvement while Wild As The Wind is from a stable that knows how to get one ready. However, EVENING NEWS looks the most likely winner here. He has a trainer that does well with newcomers.
