1^st Face Of An Angel (Kennedy/G van Zyl (Jnr) MR76 A 58kg draw 10) Tall and immature sort coming off a maiden win over 1600m on the poly, showed fair pace and a nice big action, did it easily and can win again. 61.4 seconds

2^nd 0,05 Rise Above It All (Ngwane/G van Zyl (Jnr) A 59kg draw 3) Handy throughout, has scope and a nice big rangy action so will appreciate further. 61.42 seconds

3^rd 0,55 River Jordan (Ferraris/Tarry A 59kg draw 6) Did it easily in the early stages with a relaxed action and quickened well when asked the question. 61.51 seconds

4^th 0,60 Touch Of Light (Kalychurun/Dittmer s 59kg draw 1) Not an imposing gelding but displayed a fair action and was not hard pressed in the slow run trial. 61.52 seconds

5^th 0,90 Crossfire (Gates -4 kg/Goosen A 59kg draw 5) Tall and has scope but after leading early had to be pushed along in the straight to keep up with others who were doing it easier. 61.57 seconds

6^th 1,40 Someone Exciting (Arries/Wright MR81 S 59kg draw 4) Won second time out over 1160m and was returning from a layoff of a year here, did it easily throughout with a fair action. 61.66 seconds

7^th 1,90 Roy’s Lake (Sakayi -2.5 kg/Naidoo A 58kg draw 7) Raced keenly early but had to be pushed along to keep up in the straight despite the slow pace. 61.77 seconds

8^th 3,60 Rainbow Roe (Godden/Dittmer s 58kg draw 9) Raced wide but strode out quite well without being asked a lot in a slow run trial. 61.99 seconds

9^th 5,10 Roy’s Zara Special (Jacobs -4 kg/Naidoo A 58kg draw 2) Slow away and green and the penny still has to drop. 62.2 seconds

10^th 6,90 Roy’s Ruby (Jacobs -4 kg/Naidoo A 58kg draw 8) Slow away, bumped and green, raced wide and the penny still has to drop. 62.44
