Race Tip
Group 2 winner COLD FACT (3) returns from a lay-off. Finished third at this track and distance at her only appearance last prep ten weeks ago. Record here is impressive with four wins from nine starts. Bold showing expected. I AM GIANT (5) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and two placings. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will play a major role. Group 1 placegetter BARTHOLDI (1) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a lay-off, the latest when 11th over 5f in the G1 Cape Flying Championship at Kenilworth. Cherry-ripe now and looks the main danger. Group 2 winner Set Weights ING UPON A STAR (7) was safely held when fourth last time out over 6f at Turffontein Inside, beaten 3 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
