Could not manage better than eighth in a handicap at Greyville six months ago upped to 1m½f; some promise; closest she has come to winning after five starts was a third; back from an absence here; she should go close as shown some signs of promise.

First race for the daughter of Futura; trainer get a steady supply of winners; sole newcomer in the field; would need to see money for her to get involved.

Few miles on the clock with this her third race; tailed off in a maiden plate six months ago at Turffontein upped to 7f; returns from an absence here; considered as appeals from a breeding angle.

Verdict
TANA MAREE looks the one to back. Like A Prayer and Shadow Of The Moon could be ones to consider, and Line In The Sky is taken to mount a serious challenge.
