Plenty of pressure on from the outset. BRIGHT AND BRAZEN (8) raced in a tougher line-up last start finishing fifth of six at long odds. It must be noted that the horse that finished second that day has come out and won since. She has scope and in this field should be winning. BILINGUAL (4) is better than her last start run would suggest as she was reported to be coughing. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should be involved at the finish. PANTHERA UNCIA (2) is still a maiden after 18 starts but was placed at Turffontein Inside two back before finishing sixth at this track last start. Definite place chance. SUNFIRE (1) was reported to be not striding out last time. She returns from a spell which may have done her the world of good. If putting her best foot forward, she should be finishing in the money.
