A winner over C&D; could not manage better than fourth (Vaal) two weeks ago in a handicap; hard to dismiss if the form of her last victory can be replicated.

Got the job done in a handicap by a neck (Vaal) last week; now off a higher mark; should prove competitive from an inside gate which could lead to a ground-saving trip.

The principals look evenly matched - Pearl In Her Crown is well drawn and warrants respect while Rosy Lemon has run well previously over this C&D. However, this can go to SIKELOI. She has won once over this C&D.
