Expecting a slick tempo with Terra Time, Opera Glass and Donna Mo leading the way. I AM REGAL (6) ran on strongly when winning her last start over 1800m at Turffontein. She meets a similar field here and can follow up. DONNA MO (3) is racing well this prep and finished second to the top selection last start when well supported. Looks well placed to go one better. OPERA GLASS (2) finished third over 1800m last start at Turfontein. She is likely to race up on the speed after jumping from a handy gate and has solid each-way claims. SPECIAL CHARM (5) has consistent form lines to her name. She has won twice and finished second twice from as many starts on this course. Rachel Venniker takes 1.5kg off her back and she be fighting out the finish.
