NORTH STAR (1) knuckled down strongly to get within 1. 1 lengths of the winner in third last start over 7f at this track. Reunites with Richard Fourie who has a win when partnering. Bold showing expected. GENOVEFA (6) finds it hard to win but was in the finish last time when beaten half a length into second over 6½f at this track. Can break through. DUPONT EMERALD (3) is resuming from a lay-off of ten months and having her first run for the Alan Greeff yard. Was in the placings when when resuming from a lay-off last campaign at Turffontein Standside over 5¾f. One of the genuine hopes in the race. JET SET RUN (7) comes here following a win over 5f at this track three weeks ago, getting home by 1. 5 lengths. Has a sound record here with three wins and a placing from nine starts. Everything points to a big run.
