APACHE CHIEF (2) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1m, beaten 0.8 lengths. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. The testing material. CRONUS (1) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished ninth at this track over 5¾f, beaten 8 lengths. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through. SOVEREIGN CROWN (3) is on a nine-day back-up after finishing in the money over 1m1/2f at Vaal. Good effort last start and is among the winning hopes. GIMME A GREEN CARD (8) finished 17 lengths away in eighth at her last appearance over 7½f at Vaal on January 30. Likely to be thereabouts.
