Alesia's Love

J: M Yeni

T: R R Magner

Disappointing three months ago when well berthed in a handicap upped to 7f; hard to dismiss despite defeat last time as ran well at Turffontein three runs back.

Green Flash

J: G Lerena

T: B Warren

Has won at this track; not disgraced when fifth of seven at Vaal over 5f (handicap) in September; returns from a break here; notable rider booked; can't be ruled out as shown she can get her head in front.

Green Sapphire

J: P Strydom

T: S G Tarry

From a top stable; too good for Golden Aspen and Kings Again when in front by just over 2l 26 days ago in a handicap; one to be interested in despite having more on her plate and steep rise in the ratings seems justified.

Fastnet Filly

J: K Matsunyane

T: B/J Crawford

Beaten narrowly in a handicap (Vaal) back down to this trip last month; yet to taste defeat at this track, winning on all two visits; consistent lately; off a higher mark; major player from a positive draw.

You Bring Me Joy ¹

J: K J Lihaba

Finished tailed off last month in a Listed race; has won at this course; a few throw outs since her success in a juvenile plate at Greyville last April; others have more pressing claims despite dropping in class.

Golden Moment

J: C Zackey

T: S G Tarry

Close up runner-up in a handicap (Greyville) in August; lightly raced (running for just the fifth time); hails from a good trainer; returning from a layoff here; booking of Craig Zackey takes the eye; should be in the mix.

Golden Aspen

J: J Penny

T: C Spies

Beaten 6l into sixth, finishing well behind reopposing Green Sapphire last month in a handicap; a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in July) and has not been firing consistently; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as this looks a fair heat.

Micke's Bomb

FASTNET FILLY is top of the list. She is running consistently well at the moment and has won twice at this venue previously. Golden Moment is respected although overcoming a ratings rise could be tricky while this draw will not make life easy for Golden Moment and Green Flash, and Green Sapphire is one that needs plenty of respect.
