J: B Marx-Jacobson 3

Seems to be improving based on last two runs; off the mark at the ninth time of asking at Vaal over 5f (maiden plate) last month, scoring by 1l; others more appealing despite that win at Vaal.

Sunshine Day
J: T Mayhew
T: B Webber
Beaten 6l in seventh here over 7f (handicap) in November when just behind King Bluetooth; has won here; potentially well treated on her best form; returns from a layoff; has possibilities as some leniency shown by handicapper and she ran well three runs back.

Time Will Tell
J: K Strydom

Creditable fifth at Vaal over 5f (handicap) last month; form has an up and down look to it and sole victory becoming a distant memory; tends to find at least one too good; others more persuasive.

Nkandla Gold
J: J R Syster

Has been fairly consistent of late; not won for some time now; went down by 1½l when third in a stakes race last month; his best looks to be behind him and others have more pressing claims.

Shown all winning form at Vaal (two successes); beaten 6l in sixth (dropped to this trip) at Vaal last month; makes limited appeal as a few rivals look in good form.

Kotinos
J: C Zackey
T: R R Magner
Has won previously at this course; better than this level in his pomp; out of the frame (beaten 3½l in fourth) over 7f here (handicap) 26 days ago; warrants consideration operating off a reduced mark.

Verdict

IRISH WILMA rates a strong recommendation. She has shown a liking for this course and distance. Star Magnolia rates a serious contender while Kotinos has been knocking on the door of late, and Sunshine Day is one to consider.
