SHARAPOVA (5) proved too strong last start and scored by 0.8 lengths over 6½f at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and three minor placings. Richard Fourie stays on. Should be in the finish. STROOPSOET (10) returns from a lay-off of five months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished fifth at Turffontein Inside over 5f when when resuming last time in work. Solid chance when resuming for the new barn. STRANGE MAGIC (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 2.5 lengths away in third over 1m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. VALERIAS DREAM (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at Fairview, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
