Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 1 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
She continues to go forward nicely, and her fitness levels are very good. The stable has removed the blinkers and she will be ridden a bit more conservatively in the early stages. The daughter of Gimmethegreenlight is drawn in pole position and if finishing off her race, she is the horse to beat on form.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers OFF. Best MR:66. Good latest on the turf. Drawn in pole position and merits respect.

She was an easy winner when shedding her maiden tag over 1400m last time. The step up to 1600m will suit her well. It is never easy out of the maidens, but the stable feel that she will run a positive race.
