    Going: Good

    Surface: T

    Race Analysis

    CHASING HAPPINESS (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at Turffontein Standside, beaten 2.25 lengths into seventh. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. MAGIC TATTOO (6) tackled a stakes race last time when 7 lengths from the winner in eighth over 5f in Group 3 grade at Turffontein Standside. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will prove tough to beat. ONE FELL Set Weights OOP (7) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was handy all the way over 5f at Turffontein Standside. Likely improver with strong prospects. MOUNT PINATUBO (8) lines up for the first time since September 7. Looking to emulate his win at Turffontein Standside to kick off the last campaign. Sure to make his presence felt.
