IPSO FACTO (1) started at 9/2 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths at Turffontein Standside over 1m. Likely improver with strong prospects. SAY YES (2) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1m2f at Turffontein Inside, finishing 3 lengths from the winner. A bold showing is expected. NAMAQUA BLOSSOM (10) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 20 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1m4f at Turffontein Standside, beaten 6 lengths. Finds an easier assignment and can take this out. DAMOSTAR (6) finished second last start over 1m1f at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run.
