Finished last at this track over 1200m three weeks ago, beaten over 10 lengths by Lazer Light after starting at long odds. The fourth at Vaal the run prior was better, but she was unwanted in the market there as well and remains unplaced from five starts. The 1450m is new territory, so even with a kinder class set-up she has plenty to turn around.

Returns after two months following a solid third at this track, beaten just over a length by Empress Of Peace when well-supported near the top of betting. She had also placed on debut at this venue over 1200m despite starting big odds, so the profile is heading the right way. Drawn to race handy and proven at the trip, she shapes as one of the strongest winning hopes.

Debuts for Tony Peter, who is the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track, and the broader family offers some depth, including Green Mandarin with five wins and Nartjie with a G3 placing. The trainer-debut figures are respectable without being dominant, so she profiles as a watch rather than a firm betting push at her first public race test.

Made some improvement when fifth at this track over 1200m last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Lazer Light, after being safely held at Vaal two weeks earlier. She has still yet to place in four starts and was unwanted in betting both times. The move to 1450m is untried and 60kg is no gift, but that latest effort keeps minor claims alive.

Comes through a reliable run of form, finishing third at this track last start behind Vision Of Gold after starting an outside chance in betting. She has placed three times from four starts at this venue and twice from three attempts around 1450m, which gives her a stronger grounding than most. Still a maiden after 13 runs, but her consistency makes her a genuine contender.

Has done everything but win in two starts, beaten half a length on debut at Vaal before going down a nose to Lazer Light at this track over 1200m. That latest run came with market confidence and confirmed the debut was no fluke. The 1450m is new, but she is race fit, progressive and already owns the sharpest recent form in this line-up. Clearly the one to beat.

Returns after three months away having ended last campaign with a well-held last at Vaal when near the top of betting but easing. Her wider record is far more persuasive, with seven placings from ten starts overall and three from four at this track. The 1450m record is only one placing from three tries, yet her consistency gives her a strong chance to rebound fresh.

Returns after two months following a fifth at Vaal, beaten just over five lengths by Madison County after being near the top of an open market. Her fourth at Turffontein Standside the start before was similar rather than stronger, and she is unplaced from four starts. With no placing from one try around 1450m, she has to find a sharper finish.

Debuted with a sixth at this track over 1200m, beaten seven and a half lengths by Lazer Light, but the market push from a bigger opening quote suggested there was some stable confidence. She now has race experience and represents a strong trainer-jockey set-up. The jump to 1450m is untried, so improvement is required, but she can press for a minor placing.

Returns after four months away after ending last campaign with a last at Turffontein Standside, beaten over 12 lengths by Lightinthewoods at big odds. She had also been well held at this track prior, though her overall record shows two placings from nine starts and one placing from two with Chase Maujean. Capable of improving fresh, but only as a rough place hope.

Ran below market expectation when seventh at Vaal last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Matinee as a heavily backed favourite. Her previous second at this track was much better, beaten a long neck by Thorn Bird after firming in betting, and that line includes beating Scented Alley and Without Remorse. The new 1450m trip is the question, but she has place claims.
