A Bit Of Class 1
J: K Strydom
T: C/T Dawson
Last of nine over 1m here (handicap) last month (now lower in the weights); a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win last June) and not made much of an impact recently in handicaps; this is a step down in class but looks an unlikely winner.

Represents a powerful stable and can be a player at this level; out of the frame (beaten 5l in eighth, Vaal) 52 days ago; running in a handicap for just the second time; in the mix if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.

Not beaten that far here over 6f (handicap) 50 days ago; booking of Callan Murray takes the eye; others more persuasive.

Beaten 6l over 1m1f here (handicap) in March; from powerful trainer and has displayed improved form on last two starts; back from an absence here; running in a handicap for just the second time; warrants plenty of respect as now running off a lower mark and was successful two starts back.

Behind Ubermensch when beaten 6l last month; from powerful stable; has shown glimpses of ability recently and by no means ruled out.

Recent form has a decent look to it; from powerful yard; ran well when beaten less than a length at Vaal on Thursday; entitled to respect as latest run was an encouraging one and he's on a threatening mark; was due to run at Vaal Thursday.

Verdict

Millennium Warrior isn't out of it, and Ubermensch is on the shortlist. However, GALAXY QUEEN is strongly fancied to come out on top. She can bounce back from a modest run when last seen and has been successful at this track before.
