Group 3 winner MERIDIUS (2) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 1.75 lengths over this journey at Turffontein Standside. Has a sound record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings. Rates highly and should go well. MASTER CHRISTMAS (6) was a dominant winner last time over 1m at this track, getting home by 2 lengths. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Sure to be in the finish. GOOD COUNCIL (5) has not won for a long while. Last raced on September 14 when beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth at Turffontein Inside over 1m5f. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. Multiple Group 2 winner NONE OTHER (3) lines up for the first time since July 28. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1m at Turffontein Standside. Definite top-three chance.
