Good winner (Turffontein) 49 days ago in a handicap; has won previously at this course; can make her presence felt as steep rise in the ratings looks justified and she can cope with this step up in class.

A respectable third of eight over 1m6f at Turffontein (handicap) four weeks ago; has won here before; a rise in the ratings to contend with; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as up in the weights.

Verdict

Hearts On Fire is respected although overcoming a ratings rise could be tricky, and Avoontoast should put up plenty of resistance. However, DIMAKO'S JET gets a firm vote. She is going for another distance success and has a healthy career strike-rate.
