VIRGIN RIVER (4) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over today's journey at Turffontein Inside. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Can go on with it. TIGER STORM (5) started at $9 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 1.5 lengths at this track over 1000m. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. JOHN WICK (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 5 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. PHANTOM EXPRESS (9) missed the placings two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1000m at Turffontein Inside, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so she should be in contention again.
