Ancient Wisdom

J: G Samo-Burthia ⁶

T: A P Peter

Finished last of seven over 1m2f at Turffontein (handicap, behind Cocomelon) 33 days ago; potentially well treated on her best form and can be a player at this level; no surprise to see her go well.

Grace's Kiss

J: G Lerena

T: A G Laird

Not beaten that far in fifth (just under 4l) in a handicap when dropped down to this distance at Turffontein four weeks ago; G Lerena booking heightens interest; she's an attractive contender if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and the handicapper has given her a chance.

Frangipani

Hubertus Hunt

J: C Zackey

T: M N Houdalakis

A course winner; finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (just over 3l) three weeks ago in a handicap; likely to be involved as might be able to capitalise on her reduced mark and has proved she knows how to win.
