TOMMY SHELBY won a good race in his last start over 1800m on the Turffontein Inside course. He showed a good turn of foot that day and won going away. The son of Querari won his only attempt over this C&D. Apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson takes the 4kgs off his back which will assist his cause. He is in a good space and can follow up with another victory. BOB'S YOUR UNCLE stayed on when third over 1450m on this course last time. It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. Should the top choice fluff his lines, he may be the one to pick up the pieces. BIRTHRIGHT found another kick after setting the pace in his last victory over this C&D. He received a five-pound penalty for that win. The son of William Longsword jumps from a good draw of four and may be hard to peg back. HOTARUBI'S last two starts have been fair. He finished 4.4 lengths behind the third choice in his penultimate outing. He is 1kg worse off at the weights today and may have to settle for the same result.
