Found life tough when 16l back in sixth at Turffontein on Sunday in a maiden plate; shown she can be competitive fairly recently and should give it a bold bid.

Related to Grade 2 winner Second Base; the only newcomer; nicely bred (by Gimmethegreenlight); sire can inject some quality; good pedigree; trainer has a good record with newcomers here; definite chance with signs of encouragement in profile and her sire is a speed influence.

Verdict
The principals look evenly matched - Baksheesh is capable of better while Elegant Edge might have a say. However, it looks like an opportunity for GIMMESUMLUV. She is an interesting newcomer from a good trainer.
