Finished towards the rear of 14 over 6f at Turffontein (handicap) three weeks ago; cannot be ignored as some leniency shown by handicapper and he's shown signs of promise here and there.

Verdict

Prized Platinum looks dangerous while Sheets And Goggles could have a say. But firm preference is for GOLDEN ASPEN. She is taken to confirm placings with Together Again, Prophet and Six Of All and is hard to ignore if forgiven a modest most recent effort.
