ASIAH'S TIARA (12) has recorded seven minor placings from 10 runs this campaign. Continued the trend at the most recent appearance when third over 1m4f at Vaal after she was in the firing line all the way. Must be included on the strength of that form. KAVOMOLKA (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was prominent throughout over 1m1/2f at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. HAT AND HEELS (13) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1m at Turffontein Standside. Likely improver with strong prospects. EMERALD CITY (7) finished second over 1m4f at Vaal in a then missed the frame last time out over 1m1f at Vaal. Sits handy in the run. Suited here and can sneak into the finish.
