MIDNIGHT SHOW was in need of his debut run over this distance at Turffontein. He would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, he may be the one to side with. SHERIFF BILL BROWN was in need of his debut effort over 1200m on this course. The son of Buffalo Bill Cody would have come on from the outing. Keagan de Melo is booked to ride and with the natural progression, he should pose a threat. EXPERT WITNESS is an unraced son of Hawwaam from the Candice and Tammy Dawson yard with Serino Moodley in the saddle. He is related to seven-time winner Perfect Witness. If not in need of the experience, he should start his career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to him and the other unraced entrants. GIMME SOME LUCK is a son of Gimmethegreenlight from the Fabian Habib yard with Blaine Marx-Jacobson taking the 4kgs off his back. He is related to multiple winners including Ululate and New Mexico. If not too green in running, he should give a good account of himself.
