Finishing runner-up was a good effort four weeks ago in a maiden plate; has shown some recent improvement; encouragement to be gleaned from latest effort so has to be respected.

Seems to be improving based on last two runs but winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at nine; solid effort over 1m at Kenilworth (maiden plate) three months ago.

Best she's managed so far is fourth from three career starts; not beaten too far when sixth here in a maiden plate back down to 5f three weeks ago; makes limited appeal.

First race for the daughter of Royal Mo; sibling of Pocket Dial (1m winner); has to be considered with signs of encouragement in profile.

Runner-up when 1-3 in a maiden juvenile plate (Vaal) four weeks ago; might have a say.

Shares a dam with Scent Master, a 6f winner; first time on the track; market likely to be a good pointer to her prospects.

Favourite but beaten on her debut at Vaal over 5f at 5-6 16 days ago; one to consider as appeals from a breeding angle and market vibes last time suggest she is capable of better.

Verdict
Rafeef's Queen could have a say but ROYAL FREEDOM is a confident pick. Thorn Bird made an encouraging debut, and Without Remorse has produced plenty of good efforts.
