Zenobia's Gold

J: J R Syster

T: S G Tarry

Finished behind Quantum when finishing last of seven in October in a handicap; course specialist (three wins from ten) and represents a powerful trainer; back from an absence here.

Quantum

J: K A Brewer

T: A G Laird

Likes it here (three wins); fair effort when beaten 3½l, finishing fourth of ten in a handicap at Vaal last month; shouldn't be too far away operating off a reduced mark and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Boom Boom

J: C Zackey

Close up third in a handicap; closely matched with Mighty Goddess on that running 21 days ago; should get involved.

Godspeed

J: G Lerena

Wins infrequently; last of nine (Greyville) last month in a stakes race; G Lerena a good booking; not ruled out as shown promise on occasion and she's well drawn.

Just Be Nice

J: C Maujean

T: C Dawson

Has won three times from 5f up to 7½f but patchy form recently; finished behind Quantum when last of ten in November in a handicap; makes limited appeal if the new headgear doesn't bring about improvement.

Sigrid Swing

J: K Matsunyane

T: H Van Der Westhuizen

Out of the frame (beaten just under 5l in fourth) three weeks ago upped to this trip in a handicap; a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023) but looks well treated on the pick of her form.

Glamorous Lady

Could not manage better than ninth last month in a handicap; has arguably shown improved form the last twice; this only her second handicap outing; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Valieva

J: R Danielson

T: F Bronkhorst

Poor strike-rate; beaten just over 5l into seventh (Scottsville) last month in a stakes race; good record under R Danielson (partnership reunited here); needs to be respected as a number of her rivals have questions to answer and she has shown signs of promise in the past.

A poor draw is a concern for the otherwise interesting Mighty Goddess while Godspeed is one to consider from the best draw. But preference is for BOOM BOOM. She bids for a third course success and is taken to confirm the placings after she had Mighty Goddess behind latest.
