Strong tempo from the outset as a number of them push forward, with Princess Lola, Lil Miss Moneybags and Dakota Cat leading the charge. GOLDEN CHANDELIER (6) showed good speed over this distance on the Classic course last time, but was outrun late. She won her two previous outings with ease. She takes on older rivals but has ability and should be well up to the task at hand. PINATUBO (11) won a good race on debut over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last start when well supported. Will take a lot from that run and should go close to taking this race out. RED CARPET GIRL (12) was an easy winner of her last start over 1160m at Turffontein. She is in a good space and should be finishing in the money. LIL MISS MONEYBAGS (2) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing eighth last start over 1000m at Turffontein Inside last start. Has enough early speed to race up on the pace to settle in the leading division. Solid each-way claims on best form.
