Was disappointing when third at 7-5 over 6f at Turffontein (maiden juvenile plate) two months ago; if finding progression from her initial experience, should not be ruled out.

Finished in front of Caladrius and Snow In Sweden at Turffontein at 10-1 last month; should be in the mix if building on initial performance.

Shares a dam with Heaven's Reward, a 6f winner; looks the part on breeding (by Heavenly Blue); could go close with signs of encouragement in profile.

Behind Midnight Special and Caladrius (runner-up and third) at Turffontein when last of 13 two weeks ago; others more appealing.

Verdict
Buffalo Dream is one of the more interesting newcomers while Midnight Special rates a serious contender. But FASCINATOR is strongly fancied to prevail. She is open to big improvement on just her second start.
