Beaten fifth of 11 three weeks ago upped to 1m½f at Turffontein in a maiden plate; should give it a bold bid as recent form is thin on the ground in this contest.

Yet to get off the mark in three attempts (sixth her best finish); finished behind Savara's Princess 11 days ago when last of 16 at Turffontein in a maiden plate; few of her rivals come into this off the back of good runs so has a competitive shout.

Verdict

This looks a competitive race - Life And Letters and Comic Artist are creditable options while Hat And Heels is capable of better. However, SARSDEN JET gets the nod. She was behind Savara's Princess last time but can now turn that form around.
