Plenty of pressure from Global Royalty, Lucky Chance and Sassy Lassie battling for the lead over Nkwenkwezi. ETHICAL (4) has decent form lines to her credit. She raced from a handy position over 1800m on this course last time and stayed on well to finish third of nine. She meets the right field and with a bit of luck from the widest draw, she can shed her maiden tag. FRANGIPANI (5) stayed on when fourth over 1500m on the Classic course last time. She is having her peak run today and from pole position, she should be fighting out the finish. NKWENKWEZI (1) is better than her last two starts would suggest. She finished third in her only attempt over this course and distance. She jumps from a good draw of two and on best form shown, she should have a say in the outcome of this event. SASSY LASSIE (6) showed good improvement when third over 1450m on the Classic course last time. She will enjoy the rise to 1700m and if confirming her improvement, she can won't be far away at the finish.
