    Race Analysis

    WESTERN WISHES (1) resumed over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside last start and was too good for her rivals, scoring by one length. Will be better for that latest run and happy to have her on top. MATTIAZO (2) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by a long neck. Shaping up nicely and she should be in the finish again. GOLDEN ASPEN (3) ran below expectations last time at Turffontein Inside, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths starting at 4/1. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. SHEETS AND GOGGLES (5) was beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 7¼f at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
