SIMPLY MAJESTIC (7) is a progressive galloper who is when resuming since finishing fourth over 6f in the G2 The Debutante at Greyville three-and-a-half months ago. Has never been out of the placings when resuming from two tries. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. ELEGANT ICE (4) scored an impressive win by 3.5 lengths when resuming from a lay-off last time out over 5½f at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is expected to feature in the finish. CHOCOLATE SOLDIER (5) returned from a lay-off a week-and-a-half ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into ninth over 5f at Turffontein Standside. Strips fitter and can bounce back. Set Weights ING UPON A STAR (2) started at 9/2 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at Turffontein Inside over 5f. Has a high cruising speed. Don't underestimate.
