Mighty Goddess

Not always shown an awful lot since winning a fillies maiden plate at Turffontein Standside in January; finished in front of Meet The Captain and Storm Jewel in a fillies handicap over C&D last month when 15-2 fourth of 12; one to be interested in with her operating off a reduced mark

SWEET BASIL gets the vote. She will find this distance to her liking. However, this looks tight; Si Veloce would need to be forgiven a poor run last time to be a contender, while a hike in the weights makes life harder for Risky Business.
