They will be low-flying early with plenty of speed across the line. CAPE FLOWER (1) is better than her last start run would suggest as she choked up in the running and was reported to be fatigued post-race. Her two previous efforts on this course were decent. She is back against her own sex and rates well as a leading chance. ROYAL VENUS (6) raced from a handy position over this course and distance last time but found one too good on the day. Well placed to take this out. IGNITETHELIGHT (2) is having her first run for the Alan Greeff stable. Stable Jockey Richard Fourie is booked to ride and there should be good improvement to come if suited to the polytrack. TARTAN QUEEN (3) finished third of seven last start at this track over 1200m. Looks hard to beat in this line-up.
