TAMARISK TREE (5) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1m2f at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HAWKBILL (4) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1m1f at Vaal to make it two in succession. Craig Zackey has been the pilot at his last two wins. Should be hard to stop. BIRTHRIGHT (9) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when fifth over 1m1f at Vaal, beaten 2 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Likely improver with strong prospects. QUATERMAIN (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in third over 1m at this track. Nicely placed to fill another top-three spot.
