Good early pressure anticipated with a large number of unraced runners. TREASURE ISLAND (8) has been costly to follow in her last two starts. She showed speed over 1200m last time, but did not go on with the effort. She gets the blinkers fitted, which should keep her mind on the task at hand. She drops back to 1000m and may be hard to peg back. CRAFTY CROFTY (2) finished not far behind the top choice on debut. She found betting support that day, which suggests that she was showing good work at home. She would have come on from the run, and she is one of the leading contenders. ALAKAZAM (3) is an unraced daughter of Rafeef from the Nathan Kotzen stable with Muzi Yeni in the saddle. She is related to five-time winner Strawberry Bear. If not too green, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regard to her and the other unraced entrants. ON SONG (7) is a daughter of Red Ray from the Alyson Wright stable with Athandiwe Mgudlwa up. Include in all combinations.
