LOVABLE (12) kept coming on debut to finish fourth in a big field. That has proved a hot form race with five subsequent winners and counting. Will have benefited from that outing and is likely to measure up. POWER OF PEARLS (11) has placed last four and has wound up strongly last couple. Placed 2/2 here and 4/5 at the trip. Leading chance again. SKY PILOT (1) turned in a nice effort last time to hit the frame. Can go on with the job now. MONKEY'S WEDDING (3) is better than last run and gets chance to atone.

Raced two times to date. At very big odds at debut, second last of 11 at Turffontein Inside on November 13 over 1200m, 14 len behind Sergeant Soqrat with 59kg at $51. Last start 6th of 13 at this track on December 7 over 1160m, 8 len behind Rockaroundtheclock carrying 60kg at $126. Will find this a bit too tough.
