Rio's Kiss

J: M K Katjedi ⁶

Beaded Gown

J: M Yeni

T: M F De Kock

Only career win was on all-weather; fourth behind In The Ether (this distance Vaal Classic, stakes race) over Christmas; one to take seriously if in the same mood as when she won at Greyville Polytrack last June

Red Carpet Girl

Big City Girl

J: R Munger

T: C Spies

Looks well treated on the pick of her form and a number of wins on straight tracks; finished ahead of two of these rivals in a fillies handicap over Christmas at Turffontein Standside; edging up the ratings; is a player on the pick of her form

Grecia

J: J R Syster

T: B Webber

Finished towards the rear of 14 beaten 12l in a fillies handicap latest at Turffontein Standside; not really built on success in a fillies maiden plate last March at Vaal; competes off a lower mark; others are preferred

Mercer Girl

J: D B Geerthsen ⁶

T: B H Stidolph

Potentially well treated on her best form but has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now; finished towards the rear of 14 beaten 10l (fillies handicap) last month at Turffontein Standside; been eased in the ratings by the assessor; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role

PRAYUPONASTAR is top of the list. She has won once over this CD. Quick Run may give the others plenty to think about while Beaded Gown will attract market support, and In The Ether should be on the shortlist.
