Blushing Bloom

J: K De Melo

T: J J Van Vuuren

Missed the frame (beaten 8l into fifth) four months ago at Turffontein in a handicap; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; if excused most recent runs she would be interesting based on success three runs ago; looks interesting.

Miss Novax

J: C Zackey

T: M N Houdalakis

Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 4l) 49 days ago in a handicap; a winner over this C&D; lightly raced (this just her fifth race); running in a handicap for just the second time and Craig Zackey a notable booking; rates a likely contender as now running off a lower mark and has proved she knows how to win.
