Beaten 9l when close behind Bella Boop Boop three weeks ago in a maiden plate; just her fourth outing so still early days; from a powerful trainer; should go close.

Path Fairy

J: I Lukhele

T: D Cason

Yet to win, defeats are stacking up; was held in seventh in a maiden plate upped to 1m½f (behind Empress Wu) in October; back from an absence here; should not be far away as shown promise on occasion.

Jinger Jam

J: P Mongqawa

Held on her debut here at 25-1 last month; possible squeak as seemingly there is more to come from this nicely bred daughter of Duke Of Marmalade.

Mrs Wonderful

J: G Dadamasi

T: S M Naidoo

Few miles on the clock with this her third race; behind Jinger Jam when beaten a long way three weeks ago in a maiden plate; makes limited appeal.

Trail Compass

J: T Ncume

Comfortably beaten first time out at Turffontein at 150-1 two weeks ago; could improve from first run although a leap forward required to win this.

Empress Wu should be on the shortlist but it is hard to get away from BELLA BOOP BOOP. Jinger Jam has potential to improve, and Flightlight looks a big threat.
