The four year old daughter of TOREADOR, LAZER STAR has an impressive career thus far with six wins from only eight starts. She won her last two comfortably. She has raced at this level before and should be hard to beat on her form. She has always given the impression that she could be one to follow at the top level. This afternoon's Grade 2 race could be that stepping stone for the upcoming Grade 1 races over the next five months or so. Jockey Weichong Marwing has been aboard her on six of her eight runs and has won five of them and finished second in the other.

At the bottom of the weights we find MADAME DUBOIS. She takes on far stronger this afternoon but has to be respected with only 52kg on her back. She began her racing career four runs back and has not won since but has never been that far back at the line. She could make the quartets pay.

Top weight FEATHERFOOT showed improvement in her last four runs before winning her own over 1400m. She does look to have ability and she is not without a chance this afternoon. Top jockey, S'Manga Khumalo has the ride for the first time.

SABAHA is highly thought of by her connections and she has made the trip along the N3 from Durban to Johannesburg for this race. This daughter of DYNASTY will be finding extra late and must have a shout. She looks to be one that is bound to improve further. This will be her toughest assignment to date.

Ignore the latest run of ALICE SPRINGS. She ran over a distance not exactly suited to her. The Mike De Kock yard has begun to fire in recent weeks and with Anthony Delpech aboard, she needs to be fully respected.

1st - LAZER STAR (3); 2nd - MADAME DUBOIS (9); 3rd - FEATHERFOOT (1); 4th - SABAHA (6); 5th - ALICE SPRINGS (5)
