Ran a good race in defeat when a close second at Vaal last month; improved form the last twice; a rise in the ratings to contend with but this only her second handicap outing; can be in the mix.

Went down by just over 1l when runner-up here over 7f (handicap) last month; a course winner; potentially well treated on her best form; in the mix if building on promise shown last time.

Has been fairly consistent lately; track has proven suitable before; far from disgraced (beaten just under 2l) five weeks ago (dropped back to this trip, Greyville) in a stakes race; form of the trainer is a plus.

Verdict
A wide-open affair - Ada Lovelace looks dangerous while Daring Act is one to consider. However, HAT's MAMBO is hard to get away from, HAT's MAMBO has acquitted himself well at this distance in the past and is of interest if excusing his most recent run.
