Should be a strong tempo with plenty of speed engaged. LOTUS ISLAND (1) is a winner of her last three starts over this distance. She raced from a handy position last time, quickened up well and drew clear of the opposition. She has found a new lease and she is the horse to beat. FIRST WISH (2) has won her last three starts, the latest of which was over 1800m on this course when resuming from a spell. She is in a good space and merits healthy respect. TAP SHOES (5) should have finished closer to the winner over 1800m at Durbanville last time. She should love the rise to 2000m and is worth considering. CAN'T SAY NO (4) had been rock-solid with three placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1400m at this track last start. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position and has top-three claims.
