CHIEFTAIN (1) made a nice return last time out to finish second and beaten only a neck over this course and distance. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Leading contender. KINDRED HEART (2) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at Turffontein Inside over 5f, beaten 0.9 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is a key runner. KING OF VENUS (3) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 5f at this track, getting home by a neck. Winning rider Calvin Habib retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can build on recent success. BASINGSTOKE (6) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 5f contest at Turffontein Inside last time out by 1.1 lengths. Everything points to a big run.
