GRAN CANARIA (9) finished second, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 7½f at Durbanville after he was prominent at the corner. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. PIONEER SQUARE (1) resumes from a lay-off of four months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1m at Vaal. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. WHITE SEAHORSE (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Has the pace to take a forward position. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. AMANDLA NGAWETHU (4) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a lay-off then again missed the frame last start over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside, beaten 3 lengths into sixth. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
