(4) BLACK CHEETAH has a nice pedigree and will be of interest with Richard Fourie booked.
(8) BLOWN AWAY is a well-bred colt who could go well on debut. Fillies (9) GATHERING WINTER, (7) WALK RIGHT IN can threaten with a 2.5kg sex allowance.
(2) TUSCAN STAR ran a fair race on her Highveld debut. Will strip fitter and can open her account.
(1) LACEWING has run second three times in a row and could get rewarded even if she is returning from a three-month break.
(5) ASIAH'S TIARA has not disgraced herself in both starts. Dark horse over the distance.
(3) ONO NO KAMACHI probably needs time to mature. She should be in the money on form.
(7) ENGLEFIELD GREEN need not improve a great deal over this extended trip to open her account.
(11) SWEET CONIFER ran a promising third over 1,400m on debut. Big say even from her wide gate.
(5) NEMOROSA finished ahead of that rival over 1,200m last time. Will relish the extra 200m.
(3) RUSSIAN ROYAL can improve after a pleasing introduction.
(7) KURAMATHI won her maiden well enough to suggest that she can make a decent handicap debut.
(6) FIREBURST took on a decent field including males in her first post maiden outing.
(5) TRIED AND TRUE is open to further improvement after she won well on her Highveld return.
(8) PRETTY ANALIA did not run a bad race on her local debut.
(15) TUSCAN ROMANCE ran second at all her five starts. Overdue for a win.
(5) FROM A DISTANCE and (7) HOPE CHEST can expose any chinks in that rival's armour. Well-bred newcomer (2) BEZONDER is worth a market check.
(5) MASTER CASPER finished second to top-class filly Almond Sea and that could be the form line.
(6) RONDEBOSCH beat a wide draw to win in good style at his first run after a rest and gelding. He can only improve.
