Intro

J: V Sithetho

T: S J Gray

Signs of improvement on last two runs; creditable effort to finish third over 7½f here (maiden plate) five weeks ago; should give it a bold bid if replicating most recent run.

Devilishlygorgeous

J: S Mkhumbuzi

T: B/J Crawford

Third of ten when sent off 40-1 over 1m at Turffontein (maiden plate, had Up The Ante (fourth) and Lacewing (fifth) behind) last month; 13th attempt to get off the mark but has arguably shown improved form the last twice; could be dangerous from this advantageous starting berth and her recent effort was encouraging.

Bella Boop Boop

Beaten a fair way when seventh at Turffontein over 6f (maiden plate) last month; course regular; was second here four months ago; could be in the mix.

Sasha Lee

It's hard to go against INTRO here. She will go well if repeating the sort of form she showed in her latest exploits. Bella Boop Boop is beginning to look exposed while Up The Ante poses a serious threat to the tip, and Devilishlygorgeous is an interesting contender from the ideal draw.
