Shown recent signs of improvement; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4½l) in a maiden plate last month; might have a say.

Improved form the last twice; turned in a solid effort in defeat six weeks ago, when second at Vaal in a maiden plate; recent effort was creditable so some hopes.

Went close when second in a maiden plate at Vaal last week; has raised her game the last twice and career moving upwards; she can make a bold bid if building on last performance.

Finished fifth, beaten 5½l, in a maiden plate at Vaal last week upped to 1m, behind Sword Of Light; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role with new trip an unknown.

Verdict
ROMAS PATAT PANDAY is the recommendation. She has been handed a favourable starting berth. Life And Letters is capable of getting involved while Sword Of Light is a genuine contender who should be on the radar, and this trip could be a bit far for Nicci's Law.
Romas Patat Panday
