COVER CHARGE (9) ran a solid race over this distance on the Turffontein Inside track last time and may have finished closer had he not hung out in the closing stages. The 1.5kg claim is a positive, and he looks like a progressive type capable of breaking through. VIXENINTHEVINEYARD (5) stayed on fairly for fifth over 1800m here last start, with that form receiving a boost since. She looks the main danger to the top pick. BEACH WALKER (1) has been holding his form well, and his latest effort has been franked by subsequent winners. On his best form, he is right in the mix. CUZZIE (2) remains a maiden after 23 starts but has been racing consistently enough and can again feature in the minor placings.
