Missed the frame (beaten 6l into eighth) here over 6f (handicap) off higher mark in April; this just her fifth race; down in class this time but makes little appeal.

Three wins from 28 here and looks well treated on the pick of her form; fair effort when beaten just over 3l, finishing fourth of ten in a handicap at Turffontein three weeks ago; she has slipped a bit in the official ratings so not dismissed.

Has displayed improved form on last two starts; scored narrowly in a maiden plate, breaking her duck at the sixth time of asking at Turffontein 53 days ago; big player given that not many of these impressed last time out.

Verdict

MASTER's ROSE is a strong pick, MASTER's ROSE will be suited by this distance. Greenandgold needs to be taken seriously while Beautiful Rania is one to consider, and Princess Ilaria has produced plenty of good efforts.
