Slick pace with Fascination finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. VICTORY IN ORLEANS (2) has switched yards since finishing third five weeks ago over 1160m at Turffontein Standside. Rates highly here on last run and looks a winning chance for the new barn. DECEMBER DAWN (1) lines up on the back of a 4 length fourth over 1250m at Durbanville. Well placed and should be tough to beat. MIDNIGHT LADY (7) resumes after a break of 12 weeks. Did win at her only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1250m at Durbanville. Makes plenty of appeal. CELESTIAL DIAMOND (8) returns after a spell of seven months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. Sure to make her presence felt.
