Been generally quiet since successful in a fillies maiden plate at Vaal 12 months ago; finished ninth of 13 (just behind Beaded Gown and Mercer Girl) over this distance at Turffontein Inside (handicap) last month; competes off a lower mark; down in class this time but hard enough to fancy

This is a tight race on the figures but the selection is BEADED GOWN who is going for a second distance success. Camerata is lining up on the back of some good runs.
