Fast tempo assured with Annewithan E, Ideal Future and Gilda Gray going at each other early in the piece. DAMOVA (6) set the pace over 2000m last time and tired late to finish third. She has dropped to a competitive rating and she may be the one to side with. ANNEWITHAN E (1) has shown signs of a form return in her last two starts. She finished second in her only attempt over this distance. She takes a drop in class and with a bit of luck from her wide draw, she should have a say in the outcome of this contest. GILDA GRAY (3) is better than her last start. She has won once, finished second once and third once from six starts over this course and distance. She is back against her own sex and on best form shown should finish in the money. ULTIMISSIMO (5) turned in a modest performance when fifth last time out over 1400m at Turffontein Standside, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a win at Vaal at the previous outing. Beautifully placed and is sure to take a ton of beating.
