Cherry Oh Baby

J: D De Gouveia

T: M F De Kock

Was on the premises (third, beaten 2l) over 6f at Turffontein (maiden plate) on her debut for this trainer three weeks ago; career moving upwards; form of the trainer is a plus; likely to be involved.

Potato Salad

J: J Gates

T: S J Gray

Best she's managed so far is fourth from three career starts; couldn't land a blow when sixth of seven over 5f here (maiden plate) in September; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Hollywood Madam

J: M K Katjedi

T: J A Soma

Related to 1m2f winner Leading Lad; record of the stable offers some encouragement; there's hope from the pedigree that she has some ability; fascinating to see how this one goes in the market on this first appearance.

Messalina

Ran well to finish second (beaten 2l) with three of these in behind 26 days ago; assuming she steps up from most recent effort then shouldn't be far away.

Warning Sound

J: P Strydom

Could not land a telling blow when fourth despite odds of 14-5 four weeks ago; represents top yard; not discounted as has bits and pieces of decent form and market vibes last time suggest she is capable of better.

Messalina has clocked up some good efforts while Cherry Oh Baby must enter calculations. But GIMME PASSION is a strong pick. She was behind Messalina latest but can now overturn placings and the benefit of experience may give her an edge over the newcomers.
