Winner ZAR R81,250 - 9 runners
5f
Going: Good
Surface: T
SCORPIO (3) raced once in the maiden campaign when fifth at this track over 4f back on November 30. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. OPERA FAN (7) was out of the money when resuming but has since been on the money on two consecutive occasions, the latest when second over 5½f at this track. Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. SUNSET WARRIOR (6) finished midfield last start on debut over 5f at Turffontein Inside, beaten 7 lengths at a huge quote. Better for that hitout and is one of the main contenders. SPIRITRIX (9) is a two-year-old filly by leading Vercingetorix who was purchased for ZAR R 750,000 (Cape Thoroughbred Sales 2024 PREMIER YEARLING SALE POWERED BY TATTERSALLS). Watch for leads from market fluctuations.
