Still looking to open her account after four runs; not beaten too far when fifth of 12 upped to this distance (Vaal) two months ago; should be thereabouts based on the pick of her form.

Some promise; closest she has come to winning after seven starts was a second; fair effort when beaten 4½l, finishing fifth of 11 last month at Scottsville upped to 1m1½f; encouraging jockey booking; in with a big shout as has been on the scene in the recent past.

Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at ten and generally struggled of late; beaten 9l in eighth here over 6f (maiden plate) last month; makes limited appeal with stamina to prove over this new distance.

Verdict
ART NOUVEAU is a confident pick. Cape Saffron and Wearingofthegreen are capable of getting involved, and Winds Of Grace looks dangerous.
