Last of seven in a graduation plate when behind two of these six weeks ago; lightly raced (running for just the third time); represents a powerful trainer; must be high on list if replicating the best of her form and was successful two starts back.

From top trainer; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Turffontein (beaten just under 4l) 33 days ago in a handicap; Craig Zackey booked; shown some respite by handicapper and in with big shout.

Verdict

Juniper Green looks an obvious danger to the tip while One Party and Hong Kong are respected. But GOLDEN MOMENT looks the one to back. She can rebound from a below-par latest run.
