    Race Analysis

    BUFFALO KING CODY (7) resumes from a lay-off of 11 weeks after closing off last campaign with three consecutive minor placings. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. CATFISH (8) has been in the placings five times from five starts in this maiden campaign, the latest as favourite over 5f at Turffontein Standside when 1. 75 lengths from the winner. Form sound without winning and he looks a top contender again. HAMMER BLOW (1) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 6f at this track on March 28. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. SECOND TO NUNN (3) finished third last time over 5f at this track, beaten 4. 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
