    Race Analysis

    DAMOVA (3) is a distance specialist who is coming along nicely this prep. Finished sixth when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Turffontein Inside then improved and scored over 1m4f at Turffontein Standside a month ago, getting home by 1. 5 lengths. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. ONE MORE STAR (2) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a second over 1m4f at Turffontein Standside when beaten 1. 5 lengths. Has a fine record here with two wins from six starts. Expected to be in the finish. BATTLEGROUND (1) tackled a stakes race last time when 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1m4f in Listed grade at Turffontein Standside. Open to plenty of improvement. FUTUREWOLFF (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 1. 5 lengths at this course and distance last start in a much improved run. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
