Yet to manage better than fifth in his six races; no impression when sixth of ten at Turffontein over 5f (maiden juvenile plate) 11 days ago; easy to oppose.

Related to 6f winner Si Gioca; makes first racecourse appearance; one to consider as some good aspects to his profile.

Disappointing to see him finish seventh 11 days ago given market expectations (Turffontein) in a maiden plate; others more appealing.

Appears to be going forwards; finishing third was a good effort four weeks ago over 5f (maiden juvenile plate); has landed a nice draw so no surprise to see her go well.

Finished sixth and beaten 7l first time out at Turffontein at 12-1 two weeks ago; from powerful trainer; looks likely to go well as her experience should be an asset.

Verdict
Not much between those likely to be in the mix. Echo Of The Wild might have a say while Young General is one to be interested in. However, VISION OF GOLD can prove superior. She appears to be the standout newcomer.
