Speed should be right on over the 1200m journey. MIA MOO (7) stayed on well when finishing second of eight last time. She will love the drop to 1200m and she can go one better. MOUNT PILATUS (2) ran a good race when fourth of seven last time. He won his only attempt over this course and distance and should be returning to form. CHASING HAPPINESS (8) stayed on well when finishing fourth over 1160m at Turffontein last time when resuming from a spell. She will strip a much fitter horse today and must be included in all bets. BEAMONESQUE (3) was super-impressive when winning his maiden at the second time of asking. He returns from a spell during which time he was gelded. Fresh-up and jumping from a good draw of three rates highly.
