Trainer: Alyson Wright
Jockey: #Rachel Venniker -1.5kg
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 3 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
Her last run must be ignored as she was fractious in the starting stalls and came back with a head injury. She is fit and well heading into this race. She gets the services of Rachel Venniker who takes 1.5kgs off her back and if she behaves, she is expected to run a good race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. The form of her penultimate run catches the eye. Chance.

Trainer: Gareth van Zyl
Jockey: Athandiwe Mgudlwa
Wgt: 52.0kg
Draw: 8 (15 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 12/1
She was an impressive winner when shedding her maiden tag last time. She comes into this race under sufferance but the stable want to keep her off the polytrack and this race was best suited for her. She is doing well at home and the stable feel that she is better than her current merit rating. A big run is expected.
Winning Form Comment: Cruised in last time. First run up the straight and can make her presence felt.
