POBLANO (2) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 0.3 lengths over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Working back into form in easier races and looks nicely placed to feature in the finish. BOSUM BUDDY (4) did a great job to score by a long neck over today's course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Likely to be there at the finish again. CAROLINE ISLAND (6) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when she was beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 1000m at this track. Strips fitter and can find the winner's circle. ROAMING SPIRIT (3) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1.4 lengths at her most recent outing when fourth over 1000m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Not to be discounted.
