MR BELVEDERE (1) placed when resuming at Durbanville but could only manage fifth last time, beaten 4 lengths, over 7f on turf at Durbanville. First try on synthetic. Terrific chance to win this time. AXIS POWER (3) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at Fairview. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. AMERICAN PITBULL (2) resumed from a lay-off last start with a sound second over 6f at this track. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. HAT HOT HAT (5) finished third last time over 6½f at this track to make it six minor placings from 16 career runs. Goes well at this journey with three minor placings to his credit. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Must be respected.
