    Race Analysis

    GOLDEN OPERATOR (2) built on a nice third two starts back at Turffontein Inside with a win over 7¼f at this track a week-and-a-half ago, getting home by 2. 5 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish. KING HARALD (1) proved too strong two runs ago at Turffontein Inside. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1m1/2f at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. WILD INTENT (3) was well held in the Summer Cup won by Mocha Blend over 1m2f at Turffontein Standside at his last appearance four-and-a-half months ago. Marco V'rensburg who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Has claims on his best figures. ECHO CHECK (4) was safely held when resuming last start over 6f at this track, finishing 13th and beaten 14 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Not to be discounted.
