Elembee

J: C Zackey

T: S G Tarry

Finished seventh, beaten 6l, two weeks ago in a handicap; has won at this course; from a top trainer; can be in the thick of things on the pick of her form and the handicapper has given her a chance.

Rani Of Kittur

J: G Lerena

T: R R Magner

Finished in front of two of these in a handicap when beaten a head five weeks ago; been raised a little in the ratings; has been handed a nice draw so not ruled out.

Flamboyant Flyer ¹

J: T Mayhew ³

T: C Mayhew

Bidding for a hat-trick; brings winning C&D form to the table; narrow scorer in a handicap three weeks ago; faces a tougher assignment this time so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Twostep Queen

J: K Matsunyane

T: S J Gray

Has won previously at this course; creditable fourth 33 days ago when splitting two of these upped to this distance in a handicap; hard enough to fancy with a number of her rivals in good nick.

LITTLEMARYSUNSHINE is top of the list. She is excused a last-run blip. Elembee has winning C&D form while there is a question mark over whether Miss Scaletta will be effective over this trip, and Rani Of Kittur is an interesting contender from the ideal draw.
