Group 2 winner OCTOBER MORN (4) is a four-time winner who has been performing well, beaten 1.3 lengths into second last time out over 6f at Kenilworth. Has a strong record at this journey and should go well again. Group 1 placegetter WINTER CLOUD (15) is in top form, most recently recording a win by 1.3 lengths over 6f in the G3 Champagne Stakes at Kenilworth to make it two on the bounce. This is her optimum trip with three wins from six starts and is among the leading chances. Group 3 winner ASIYE PHAMBILI (13) couldn't have been more impressive when resuming last start when she scored by 4 lengths over 6f in the G3 Poinsettia Stakes at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is among the winning hopes again. WINTER GREETING (12) won when resuming then was less effective in stakes class when fourth in the G2 Senor Santa Handicap at Turffontein Standside. Will find this much easier. Has a high cruising speed. Solid claims on best form.
