The Reason
J: C Zackey

From respected trainer and has maintained her consistent level of form; beaten into runner-up when 11-10 in a maiden plate (Vaal) four weeks ago upped to 7f; Craig Zackey a notable booking; latest effort was encouraging so likely to be in contention.

Seems to be improving based on last two runs; disappointing effort from good draw when tenth of 12 at Kenilworth in a maiden plate two months ago.

Split Umami and E Famous over 1m2f at Vaal (maiden plate) when beaten 9l 23 days ago; in first-time blinkers; last two runs were below standard set by third at Vaal three starts ago; looks interesting.

Not had much racing - fifth outing here; behind two of these last month when eighth at Vaal in a maiden plate upped to 1m2f; rates a likely contender.

Verdict

This is not an easy race to assess even though we only have a small field but best of these might be E FAMOUS. She may well reverse last-time-out placings with those she reopposes. The Reason competes off the back of some good runs.
