Split Nkwenkwezi and Beverly Baby here over 1m½f (maiden plate) when a close-up fourth last month; not yet off the mark in seven attempts although has finished third and represents a powerful stable; Craig Zackey a notable jockey booking; likely to be a threat if replicating most recent run.

Stepped up on her last two starts; not beaten too far when third over 1m at Turffontein (maiden plate) two weeks ago; not devoid of ability based on the pick of her form and could go well.

Verdict

LUNAR RAINBOW is strongly fancied to come out on top. She finished ahead of Beverly Baby and Pass The Baton when last seen. World Tour has to be seriously considered while Nkwenkwezi has been stacking up some good efforts, and Artic Silver is one to consider.
