Has been placed at her past two and brings the most exposed consistency among the raced brigade. She was third to Lazer Light at Turffontein Inside last start, beaten three and a half lengths as a heavily backed favourite, after a Vaal second behind Treasure State when beaten just under a length. Three placings from four tries around 1160m keep her right in the winning mix.

Makes her debut with a useful draw and a solid jockey booking in Calvin Habib, but the stable's debut numbers are modest at one win from 35 starters. There is some family substance through Brave Waam and Brave Bomber, both winners, yet the available profile does not provide a strong push for a first-start win. Market confidence would be the key guide to any sharper expectation.

Debuts with a profile that commands respect, being a R4.1m yearling purchase from the Mike & Mathew De Kock yard. The stable has won 11 from 63 with first starters and its Vercingetorix runners have struck at 21%, so there is more substance than guesswork around her. With Callan Murray aboard and barrier three, she is a genuine player if she handles race day.

Was well beaten on debut at Turffontein Inside, finishing last behind Vision Of Gold over 1450m and beaten over 13 lengths after starting at long odds. She is entitled to take benefit from that first race experience and does get a class-drop tag, but she has not raced around 1160m before. Sharp improvement is required, with minor money the realistic target.

Resumes after a three-month break following two unplaced runs to open her career. She was sixth at Turffontein Inside last start before the break, beaten just over five lengths at long odds, after finishing last at this track on debut. The 2.5kg apprentice claim is a small help, but she has yet to place at the distance and has to find a better finishing effort.

Backs up after 10 days, which the set-up marks as a positive, but her latest effort was only fair when fifth to Beautiful Rosie at Vaal over 1000m, beaten five lengths at long odds. Her previous third at Turffontein Inside was better, beaten just under two lengths after some market interest. The step back to 1160m is a query given three unplaced tries around this trip.

Starts her career from a middle draw with Raymond Danielson riding, but the Grant Maroun debut sample supplied is lean at no wins or placings from four starters. The family has produced winners, including Good Council and Just Var, so there is some depth in the page. Even so, she profiles as one likely to benefit from race experience rather than a high-confidence debut choice.

Debuts for Mike & Mathew De Kock and has enough pedigree depth to attract attention, with several winning half-siblings and a debut-winning relative among the supplied family notes. The stable's first-starter record is sound, and the 1.5kg claim gives her a small allowance. Barrier eight is no gift, but the profile is strong enough to make her a legitimate place prospect.

Is another debutante and the family has produced multiple winners, with Ceuta, Grimaldi and Victoria Tower all showing race records of substance. The caution comes from the Robbie Sage first-starter figures supplied, with no wins or placings from eight starters, so race-day market interest would carry weight. On the evidence available, she looks more a watch-and-learn runner.

Looks ready to win after a sharp second-run improvement, finishing third to Tiger's Captain at Turffontein Inside and beaten only half a length in a small-field MPLTE. That followed a sound debut fourth at Vaal, and she now reaches her third run this campaign for the Sean Tarry stable with Keagan De Melo aboard. The form is light but progressive, and this is a clear winning opportunity.

Makes her debut from the Sean Tarry stable, which has a strong overall first-starter return in the supplied figures and an excellent trainer-sire record with Gimmethegreenlight. That gives her more background support than many unraced runners, but the immediate family notes are not as compelling as some key rivals. She may run well, yet others bring stronger race-day evidence.

Resumes after a three-month break following a highly encouraging debut second at Scottsville, where she was well-supported near the top of betting and beaten just under three lengths by Sistership in a 15-runner FM MPLTE. She has not raced around 1160m before, but the stable and jockey are both top-ranked for wins at this track. That debut gives her the right profile to take beating fresh.
