Calantha

J: R Danielson

Has chalked up two wins from her last five; has been consistent of late; couldn't quite get the job done when 2-1 third last month in a stakes race; likely to be in contention.

Warning Sound

J: K Matsunyane

T: S G Tarry

Represents a powerful stable; few miles on the clock with this her fifth race; was disappointing when eighth at 5-2 four weeks ago in a handicap; others appeal more.

Wild Intent should be on the shortlist while Calantha may give the others plenty to think about. But FIRE ATTACK is fancied for this. He has proved consistent of late and is going for his second course success.
