LETS PLAY POKER (1) was well fancied when resuming but found a couple better at Turffontein Standside, finishing 1.3 lengths adrift at the end of 5f. Looks well placed stepping out in trip. Winning chance. BREATH OF MAGIC (2) started at 5/1 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at Turffontein Inside over 1m. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. CLIFFIE CLAVIN (8) is a two-year-old gelding on debut from the stable of Lucky Houdalakis. By Canford Cliffs from Franking. Any push in betting should be respected. PASS THE BATON (7) ran a better race last start to finish seventh over 6f at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is worth including.
