Fair effort when beaten 4½l, finishing fifth of six in May at Turffontein in a stakes race; achieved each of her three career wins at Turffontein but a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 3-11; has had some time off; needs considering.

Few miles on the clock with this her third race; suited by this C&D; minor honours when evens in a handicap at Turffontein four weeks ago; off a higher mark but this only her second start in handicap company; this looks tougher but should not be far away.

Quite a competitive heat but MANYELETI gets the nod. She is taken to confirm placings with Valieva, Glastonbury and Alpine Jet and has been a winner over this C&D. Theatre Of Life has winning C&D form.
