DIESEL'S SHADOW was a shock winner in his last start over 1800m on the Turffontein Inside course. He received a five-pound penalty for that victory. Apprentice Savanna Valjalo takes the 4kgs off his back which will assist his cause. From his good draw of two, he can follow up with another victory. FLASHY APACHE stayed on when fourth over this distance at Turffontein last time. He finished 2.25 lengths behind the top choice, three runs ago. He is 4.5kgs worse off at the weights today and may battle to turn the form around. ONE MORE STAR won his last start over this C&D, under Callan Murray. He received a three-pound penalty for that victory. He does have a wide draw to overcome, but Callan Murray should give him all the necessary assistance from the saddle. BATTLEGROUND has shown some signs of a form return in his last two starts. He drops in class and with a bit of luck in running, he can earn another cheque.
