PONGOLA (10) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1m at Scottsville. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. FUTURE SAINT (6) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 0.6 lengths over 1m at Scottsville. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ANIMAL IMPACT (2) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was prominent at the corner before being beaten 6 lengths into tenth over 1m1f at this track. Strips fitter and can feature. BASIE RAAKVAT (9) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.2 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1m1f at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Not to be discounted.
