Came home eighth, beaten 6l, over 1m here (handicap) four weeks ago; encouraging jockey booking; strong contender as some leniency shown by handicapper and she ran well in defeat three starts ago.

Poor strike-rate but useful at this level; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Turffontein (beaten 3½l) over 1m1f (handicap) last month; G Lerena a noteworthy booking; capable of making an impact as has been given a chance by the handicapper.

Verdict

Cartagena is possibly starting to look exposed while Bob Lee Swagger certainly isn't out of it. But firm preference is for SNEAK PREVIEW. She has been a winner at this track.
