Finishing third was a good effort 14 days ago (was done no favours by the draw, Turffontein) in a handicap; hails from a good stable and has maintained her consistent level of form; latest effort was encouraging so might have a say.

Likes this combination of C&D; has been fairly consistent of late; not disgraced when fourth (dropped to 6f) last month in a handicap; warrants respect if finding her best form.

Not beaten too far (2l, was done no favours by the draw) at Turffontein in a handicap three weeks ago; slumped a bit since winning a maiden plate at Turffontein in September; meeting some horses in good form and there are better alternatives here.

Verdict

MISS FANTASTIC is at the top of the shortlist. She is a one-time winner at this track and there is scope for improvement. Winds Of Grace should put up plenty of resistance while Fair Proposal looks a decent option, and Princess Keira has been knocking on the door of late.
