Finished fifth last month albeit only beaten just under 3l in a stakes race (Turffontein Standside); form boosted by the second going in since; no winning form at this distance but has won here before; should be in the mix if replicating form of her win at Turffontein Inside in February

Came out on top by just under 2l in a stakes race (Turffontein Standside) last month, form of that received a boost with the second obliging since; stable form an obvious plus and needs to be respected

Verdict

This looks tight. Miss Hannigan has won over course and distance while Callmewhenuneedme may have her stamina stretched over this trip, but GIMME A SHOT could be the one to side with. She didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since) and although she found Miss Hannigan and Soldier's Eye too good latest, she can reverse the form.
