Expecting a strong tempo, predominantly from Luna Halo, Gimme's Lassie and Protect The Dream. LUNA HALO (1) has good recent form lines to her credit. She over raced over this course and distance last start and finished third of eight as the favourite. She has won once, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. She is the class horse in this line-up and if Richard Fourie is able to switch her off early should prove hard to beat. GIMME'S LASSIE (2) is better than her last start run when finishing last of 14 would suggest as she was reported to be not striding out. If finding the form of her penultimate run when finishing second of 11 over 1000. She jumps from pole position and rates well as an each-way chance. ESSENTIAL (3) received a check leaving the start last time and stayed on well to finish fourth of 11 over 1600m. She jumps from pole position and rates well as an each-way chance. AS FATE HAS IT (4) jumped from a wide gate last start and finished fifth in the same race as the above selection. Drawn better here and can place.
