Jilted

J: J Gates

T: A Ndzilana

Out of the frame (beaten just under 5l in fifth) at Greyville over 7f (maiden plate) last month; still searching for her first win after 11 attempts; has to be considered as shown promise on occasion.

Flightlight

J: C Zackey

T: S G Tarry

From powerful trainer; finished in front of Gimme A Green Card and Bella Boop Boop in a maiden plate when beaten 3½l in seventh upped to this distance 14 days ago; must be high on list as appeals from a breeding angle.

Precious Beauty

J: K A Brewer

Behind Jilted at Greyville when tailed off last month in a maiden plate; may have to settle for supporting role.

Mattiazo might have a say but JILTED is the pick of these. Aurora Green is expected to take a forward step, and Flightlight is expected to be in the thick of things.
