DEAR DOC (4) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at Turffontein Standside over 5¾f. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. NIGHTSHINE (9) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten 7 lengths into second over 5f at Turffontein Standside. Has ability and is one of the leading chances. COVER CHARGE (2) is a superbly bred two-year-old colt on debut. By Erik The Red from Congestion Charge who has produced some fine gallopers, including a winner at G1 level. EHHFIFTEENKJOE (5) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths, when resuming from a lay-off last start over 5¾f at Turffontein Standside. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat.
