SNAP YOUR FINGERS (7) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1600m at Turffontein Standside. Has a high cruising speed. Back in trip and expected to be in the finish. SECRET FATE (6) is on debut for the Sean Tarry stable. Two-year-old filly by Master Of My Fate from Secret Potion. Looks a definite contender.

FREESTYLE DANCE (3) is a two-year-old filly at the races for the first time. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Flower Alley from Liberty Dance.
