EIGHT HATS made the expected natural improvement when second over this distance last time. She was running on too late that day. The daughter of Hat Puntano is a progressive type and she may be the one to side with. She is carded to race on 11 May 2025 and her progress in that race will need to be monitored. SUMMER WINTER finished 0.3 lengths behind the top choice last time. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and there should not be much separating them at the finish. SUNSET WARRIOR has run two fair races to date. It must be noted that the form of his last outing has been franked. Malesela Katjedi retains the ride and he can run into the placings. CAPTAIN FRANK is an unraced son of One World from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Kabelo Matsunyane in the saddle. If not in need of this outing, he should give a good account of himself. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances.
