    Race Analysis

    LONELY AS A CLOUD (2) comes here off a last-start sixth, beaten 3. 5 lengths, over 5f at Turffontein Inside. This looks an ideal assignment. IN THE ETHER (3) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 5f at this track, finishing 2. 5 lengths from the winner. Has a sound record here with five wins and 10 minor placings from 35 starts. Expecting a bold showing. MICHAEL FARADAY (4) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside, beaten 5 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. TIGER STORM (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5f at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Better than recent efforts suggest.
