Was eighth of 12, beaten 8l, over 6f at Turffontein (Grade 3) four weeks ago; proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a sixth win); should not be far away if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back and lower class is a plus.

Unfancied when going close at Turffontein upped to 1m6f two weeks ago in a Listed race; all her winning form has come at Turffontein (three successes) and not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last January); this might be easier.

Wins-runs record of 4-19 but largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Greyville last June; last of eight (dropped to 1m1f) in November in a handicap; returning from a layoff here; facing a testing assignment and only limited appeal.

Decent effort when 20-1 third (Turffontein) last month in a handicap; achieved each of her two career wins at Turffontein; needs to be respected as now running off a lower mark.

Verdict

This looks a competitive affair. Hierkommiebokkie should be in the hunt while this trip could be a bit far for Wings Within Me. However, SONIC JET may prove the pick. She has a sound course record and is the one to beat based on her most recent effort.
