Kisshoten

J: A Fortune

Tailed off at short odds in November (Greyville) in a handicap; searching for her third career win; has had some time off; can be in the thick of things if bringing her peak form to the table.

Pearl In Her Crown

J: M Yeni

T: F Bronkhorst

Possesses winning form at this track; out of the frame (beaten 4½l in third) over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap) 47 days ago; likely to be thereabouts as might be able to capitalise on her reduced mark and has proved she knows how to win.

Saigon Suzie

Got the job done by 3l in a maiden plate when getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking last month; represents top stable; Craig Zackey a noteworthy booking; strong contender.

Kisshoten is capable of getting involved while Pearl In Her Crown is a genuine contender who should be on your radar. But TANA MAREE is a strong fancy. She is a one-time winner at this track and takes the eye from a recent form perspective.
