Going: Soft

KWAGGA BLITZ (1) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a lay-off last time in work over 5f at Turffontein Standside. Sure to make his presence felt. THUNDERBIRD (4) finished tenth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 7½f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. AFTER HOURS (7) finished fourth over 7f at Turffontein Standside last time out following a determined win two runs back. Has a high cruising speed. Winning claims on best figures. CHABAL (5) has not appeared since he scored over 1m at this track on December 24. Should run very well.
