Fair debut effort here at 2-1 12 days ago; respected as has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come and her initial effort hints at more to come.

Held on her debut at Turffontein over this trip at 16-1 last month; should benefit for having a run under her belt.

Third of nine at the first time of asking over 6f at Turffontein at 11-2 last month; can make a decent bid as has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come and her initial effort was most encouraging.

Verdict
Panthera Uncia competes off the back of some good runs, and Captain Selvie looks a decent option. However, it is hard to get away from QUIET WINTER. She can take a step forward from an encouraging debut and made a good fist of her first run.
