    Race Analysis

    ROYALE JACKET (1) made progress last start to finish second over 1m1/2f at this track after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. POMPEII SHIELD (3) had been racing consistently, finishing in the money three races on end, until finishing fourth as favourite last time out over 1m1/2f at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will play a major role. ASIAH'S TIARA (6) made progress last time out, finishing 2. 5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1m1f at Turffontein Inside. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TWELFTH OF NEVER (4) filled a minor placing when fresh from a lay-off two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 11 lengths away in fifth over 1m1f at Turffontein Inside. Fitter so don't underestimate.
