Was held in seventh last month (Turffontein) in a handicap; seems to be improving based on last two runs; G Lerena a notable booking and this only her second start in handicap company; likely to be in contention given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and was a winner two starts ago.

Verdict
An open affair but SURPRISE PARTY looks the most likely winner. She can be forgiven a modest run latest and will be suited by this distance. Sikeloi may have her stamina stretched over this trip, Special Star has a good draw and is shortlisted, and Falconfly should be in the hunt.
Surprise Party
