Finished in front of two of these two weeks ago when beaten 5½l (fourth of ten) at Turffontein in a conditions race; more than capable if on song so can make a bold bid.

J: G Lerena
T: M N Houdalakis
This daughter of Gimmethegreenlight looks the part on breeding; trainer has a good record with first-time-out runners here; from the same family as Al Greenga, a winner over 7f; August foal; conceding experience to all her rivals; should figure with signs of encouragement in profile.

Just touched off on her debut when a neck runner-up to Queen Leila at Turffontein at 7-5 in February; from respected trainer; should benefit for having a run under her belt.

Verdict

It's hard to confidently rule out many of these - Arrogance is one to be interested in while Queen Leila should be on the shortlist. However, a case can be made for VOLCANIC HEAT. She knows how to get her nose in front.
