Premier's Champion Stakes winner SANDRINGHAM SUMMIT (1) was fresh from a two months break last start and scored by 3 lengths in the G2 Gauteng Guineas at this track. Has raced six times here and has never missed the frame. Winning rider Gavin Lerena stays aboard. Bold showing expected. Group 2 placegetter WILLIAM IRON ARM (3) finished third when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m at this track. Sure to prove tough to stop. Group 2 placegetter HOTARUBI (2) impressed last start when in the money over 1m in the G2 Gauteng Guineas at this track in a black-type race, beaten 3 lengths. Should be prominent from the outset. Winning claims on best figures. Group 2 winner PURPLE PITCHER (4) drew out and was out of the money latest when fourth over 1m in the G2 Gauteng Guineas at this track. K Matsunyane who has scored on him five times retains the mount. Open to improvement.
