Korcula silk
Korcula

Has been consistent of late and has found improvement of late; not beaten too far when third of seven here over 1m2f (maiden plate) two weeks ago; the pick of her results suggest some ability and looks like a player.

Finished fifth but only beaten just over 2l at Turffontein six weeks ago in a maiden plate; recent display was promising so on the shortlist.

Good and bad recent runs found on her CV and winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 21; was seventh of nine, beaten 10l, in a maiden plate two weeks ago; others more likely.

First race for the daughter of Erik The Red; a watching brief the best policy given doubts that she can run to the required standard this time.

Xtatic silk
Xtatic

T: S J Gray
Finished ninth and beaten 13l first time out (6f, here) at 100-1 in March; returns from a layoff; if the penny drops, warrants plenty of respect.

Verdict

Beautiful One should be on the shortlist while Korcula is lining up on the back of some good runs. But XTATIC is a strong fancy. She is running for the second time and is less exposed than some of these and will have learnt from her debut experience.
