Best Odds
Was on the premises (second, beaten just over 1l) in a maiden plate (Turffontein) just ahead of Onceinabluemoon when dropped back to 6f three weeks ago; from top yard and has arguably shown improved form the last twice; can be in the thick of things as recent effort was encouraging.

Verdict
This is not a race for maximum stakes. Baby Red poses a serious threat to the tip while Lanteri should be on the shortlist. However, it's hard to go against THE REASON here. She is taken to confirm the placings with Onceinabluemoon.
