J: R Danielson

T: P/J Vermeulen

Behind Alabama Anna three months ago when finishing last of eight in a handicap; successful three times from 17 career outings (5f-1m2f) but largely not been running well; others more likely with absence a concern.

Alesia's Love

Solid run when third at 20-1 23 days ago in a handicap; recent effort was creditable so can't be ruled out.

Green Flash

No impression when ninth of 11 in a handicap 23 days ago; record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 3-12).

Green Sapphire

J: G Lerena

T: S G Tarry

From powerful stable and has won twice in her career; finished in front of two of these in a handicap when runner-up (sent off 13-8) 23 days ago; notable jockey booking; in with a big shout.

Sea Anemone

Beaten a fair way when sixth last month in a stakes race; should go close as a winner off a similar mark and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Basked In Glory

J: P Mxoli

Finished just behind Lady Of Memphis when fifth over 5f at Vaal (handicap) in November; others appeal more.

Alabama Anna

J: K A Brewer

T: M N Houdalakis

Generally modest form since handicap success at Turffontein in July; seventh of eight beaten 9l here over 7f (handicap) in December; this line-up contains some strong opposition so not one to rely on.

Finished last of six three weeks ago in a handicap; runs for only the second time in a handicap; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Lady Of Memphis

J: R Munger

T: M N Houdalakis

Not disgraced in sixth in a handicap at Vaal five weeks ago; certainly not out of it if replicating the best of her form and she has been dropped in the weights.

GREEN SAPPHIRE is strongly fancied to come out on top. She is expected to confirm placings after she got the better of Alesia's Love and Green Flash when last seen and has a good record of rewarding her backers. Lady Of Memphis needs to be considered.
