Eighth beaten 15l over 7½f here (maiden plate) when separating a number of reopposing rivals last month; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 26; others more persuasive.

Solid effort over 7f at Turffontein (maiden plate) 11 days ago; some promise; closest she has come to winning after four starts was a second.

Produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of eight, beaten just over 2l) over 1m here (maiden plate, had Echo Of The Wild (sixth) and Sivaji (last) behind) last month; should get involved.

Split Uncle Bob and Sivaji when sixth last month over 1m (maiden plate); failed to impress last time, although was third last month and could be of some interest.

Verdict

Firm preference is for FOREVER RED. He was behind Echo Of The Wild latest but can now overturn placings. There is a question mark over whether Uncle Bob will be effective over this trip.
