EL ZANI (5) ran on well on debut and found one better. Improvement to come and should go well. SLENDER SILHOUETTE (1) is better than form suggests including a solid fourth here last time. Expect a bold showing. MASTER'S LADY (3) is overdue for a win and placed 2/3 this course and distance. Encouraging effort last start. In the mix. STAR BLAZE (8) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Stuart Pettigrew. By The United States from Mystic Cloud. Top-three chance.

Comes off a 30 day let-up. At the latest run second last of 7 at Turffontein Standside on January 11 over 1000m, 15 len behind Precocious with 60kg at $13.50. Before that 3rd of 8 at Turffontein Standside on December 30 over 1000m, 2.5 len behind Duchess Zahra with 60kg at $6. Capable of a strong showing.
