Computaform Sprint winner THUNDERSTRUCK (1) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by a neck over 5f in the G1 Computaform Sprint at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins and two minor placings from six outings. Leading player again. Group 3 placegetter SHELDON (4) returns from a lay-off of seven months and did win when resuming last time in work over 5½f at Vaal. Key runner. COSMIC STAR (7) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 13 over 5¾f when he got home by 1.3 lengths. Has the talent to add to the winning sequence. Group 1 placegetter RULERSHIP (2) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest offering a sixth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 5¾f in the G2 Senor Santa Handicap at this track. Significant class drop this time. Sure to be thereabouts.
