MONTELENA (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Fairview All Weather over 6½f. Has the pace to take a forward position. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CAPTAIN OF GRIT (5) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 1m at Turffontein Inside. Now under the care of new trainer K Mitchley. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. HEART STEALER (4) is having his first run since winning by one length six weeks ago over 7f at Durbanville. Has transferred to the Alan Greeff stable over the break. Solid top-three hope. MAKHACHEV (1) finished second last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 7f at this track, beaten a nose. Likely improver with winning claims.
