JACK MILNER - ON the surface Temair looks like one of those fillies who lacks heart but the truth is that she is probably a touch below Classic material.
While the Mike Bass inmate has only won two of her 14 starts, she has never backed off taking on the best of her sex in the country.
In Race 6 on Wednesday Temair drops in class to fillies and mares’ Graduation Plate company and is so well weighted in this 1600m race that the four-year-old daughter of Tara’s Halls is impossible to oppose. She is at least 8.5kg better off with any other runners and in some cases as much as 14kg.
Her form over 1600m is also impressive - three runs over the distance have yielded a win, a second and a fourth. The fourth was in last year’s Cape Fillies Guineas where she was beaten by the likes of Sparkling Gem and Mother Russia.
Katici Princess is unbeaten and both of her starts have been over 1400m. She is 10.5kg under sufferance with Temair but the sparingly raced five-year-old mare is probably better than her merit rating of 74 may suggest. Just how much is the question!
Squashy Joy has only raced over 1200m but as she is by Dynasty, Dean Kannemeyer’s runner should be looking for more real estate. After two successive victories she was unplaced last time out but did run on from well off the pace to finish 2.85 lengths behind Factor One.
Born In The Wild could complete the Quartet. The Model Man filly is never far off and has a win and a 0.80-length fourth to show from her two races over the distance.
