BLUE STEEL (3) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a long neck away in second over 1400m at Scottsville when he was in the firing line all the way. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. WINDING POWER (5) finished second last start over 1200m at this track when he did his best work late, beaten 2.5 lengths. Likely improver with winning claims. GREEN COMMANDER (4) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished seventh at Durbanville over 1250m, beaten 7 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. XIPHOS (2) is resuming. Has placed 3/6 here and placed only try course and distance. Among the chances.
