Blazing Sky

J: J Penny

Finished eighth, beaten 12l, at Turffontein 45 days ago in a maiden plate; yet to finish better than fourth in her four races; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Cyber Spirit

Chasing The Crown

J: V Jodhee ⁹

T: G J Maroun

Final Hope

J: M K Katjedi

T: A P Peter

Beaten 20l when towards the rear on her debut (Turffontein, 6f) at 40-1 three weeks ago; hard to make her a bet based on first race.

Green Extreme

J: C Zackey

T: M N Houdalakis

Came home sixth, beaten 6l, in a maiden plate four weeks ago; some appeal on breeding and shortlisted.

Misty Metal

J: C Maujean

T: A P Peter

Related to 1m winner Grand Destiny; conceding experience to all her rivals; likely best watched for now given her lack of experience.

World Tour

J: M Yeni

T: M/a Azzie

Never posed a significant threat on her debut at Turffontein when behind three of these over this trip at 5-1 last month; breeding catches the eye and needs consideration.

World Tour is capable of better but LADY OF ARC looks a solid choice. Green Extreme isn't out of it, and Act On Snow is one that needs plenty of respect.
