St John Gray to kick off meeting with Olympian Gold

Aug 26 South Africa (Vaal) form analysis
-
(11) OLYMPIAN GOLD caught the eye when a fast-finishing second over this trip earlier in August. He will not need to improve much on that performance to open his account for trainer St John Gray.
(4) FRERE JACQUES would have benefited from his comeback fourth over 1,400m. He could have more to offer over this extended trip, especially with cheekpieces and a tongue-tie fitted.
(6) BEACH WALKER outran market expectations when finishing ahead of Frere Jacques last time but could confirm that improvement and have a say in the outcome of this race.
(7) TRIP TO PEACE and newcomer (10) KING OF SILK complete the shortlist.
(1) CARNARVON, even under top weight, is unlikely to get a better chance to break his duck. This time or never.
(2) CAPTAIN FRANK, (3) NEW LIFE and (4) KING BLUETOOTH could chase him home in that order.
(1) EMPRESS WU will be hard to beat if taking her place in the lineup. She ran seventh at her last start at Turffontein on Aug 23, so her participation in this could be in doubt.
