Francilien

J: C Zackey

T: M N Houdalakis

Track has proven suitable before; two from four in her career so far; a disappointing result (went off favourite) when beaten 3l in a handicap with Lucy In The Sky and Women Of Fame behind last month; Craig Zackey booked; should get involved.

Salenio Peninsula

J: G Lerena

T: J J Van Vuuren

Beaten fifth of nine at Turffontein six weeks ago in a Grade 3; winner of two of her four career starts; she's a serious player with the potential to save ground from this gate and down in class.

Women Of Fame

J: D Schwarz

T: S G Tarry

Held in eighth two weeks ago in a handicap; from a powerful trainer but recent form hardly the most inspiring; others more likely as this could be a hot race.

Lucy In The Sky

J: J Gates

T: B Webber

Couldn't land a blow when fourth of eight at Turffontein last week in a handicap; likes this combination of C&D; hasn't really fired since her success in a handicap at Vaal in March; easy enough to take on given the strong opposition here.

Miss Lia

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

Good effort when close up last month at Turffontein in a handicap; has won here before; this just her second run in a handicap but now competes off a higher mark.

Cocomelon

J: C Habib

T: S G Tarry

First-time blinkers no help at Turffontein over 1m (Grade 3) when beaten 9l two weeks ago; from a powerful trainer; jockey booking is a positive; could be interesting despite defeats on last two starts as she scored three runs back and lower class is a plus.

It's Her Way ¹

J: K A Brewer

T: R Klaasen

Creditable effort (went off 14-1) to finish third 49 days ago in a graduation plate; often been there or thereabouts lately; a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in February).

Silver Parasol

J: K Matsunyane

T: A G Laird

Not far behind Miss Lia when eighth (dropped a few pounds since) four weeks ago (Turffontein) in a handicap; has won at this track; dropping in class but has some questions to answer.

Cocomelon is capable of running well while Francilien is taken to mount a serious challenge. But SALENIO PENINSULA is hard to look beyond. She is a proven winner and can rebound from a modest last run.
