Mrs Stormiatrix

J: P Mongqawa

Produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of six, beaten just under 2l) two weeks ago; stepped up on her last two starts; latest effort was encouraging so deserves respect.

Wispinthewillow

J: T Demont

T: A P Peter

This just her third race; fair effort when beaten 4l, finishing fourth of eight at Turffontein over 6f (maiden plate) ten days ago; ought to give it a shot.

Not much between those likely to be in the mix but preference is for WISPINTHEWILLOW. Jawbreaker is capable of running into at least a place, and Mrs Stormiatrix should be in the hunt.
