AMERICAN MATADOR (1) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1m at Fairview All Weather after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. GOLDEN GREY (8) last appeared six-and-a-half weeks ago over 1m at Durbanville when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the Alan Greeff stable. Should be thereabouts. EXTRACTION (12) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1m at this track. Among the chances while fresh. CLIFFIE CLAVIN (3) ran a better race last start, finishing 2.75 lengths away in sixth over 1m at Fairview All Weather. Well placed to bounce back.
