Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Dezire, Maverick Queen and Prophet prominent. MAVERICK QUEEN (4) was too strong last time racing on speed. Goes well this course and distance and looks a big chance to make it back-to-back successes. SHE'S ALL MINE (7) won two on end then placed two since. Goes very well course and distance, Can take this out. PLAY WITH THE WIND (6) resumed from a break with an effortless all the way maiden win. Improver with winning prospects. SPY STORY (13) had been rock-solid with four placings in a row before finishing fourth over 1160m at Turffontein Standside a few days ago. Quick back up and has to be included.
