Cold Fact

J: C Zackey

T: A P Peter

Had Good Queen Bess, Alula's Star and Rockets Red Glare behind her scoring narrowly 20 days ago here in what looked an up-to-scratch fillies handicap; impressive record here of three wins from six runs; this represents a step up in class but ought to be of interest

Flowerbomb

J: M V'Rensburg

Safely held here two months ago behind Kiss Me Captain in a fillies Listed race when beaten a fair way (7l); although below par last time out, is better than that judged on previous efforts and a course winner; likely to be involved despite being up in class

Largely found things tough going of late and not really built on success in a stakes race in July at Turffontein Standside; not beaten that far (5l, went off 66-1) at Turffontein Inside last month; not hard to look beyond her with this looking tougher than last time

KISS ME CAPTAIN sets the benchmark. She can enhance her CD record and can confirm placings with Flowerbomb and Rockets Red Glare, who were behind two months ago. However, this is quite an evenly matched field; Flowerbomb holds claims if her latest performance can be forgiven, while a big run by course specialist Cold Fact would not surprise.
