Small field but plenty of pace engaged, including Salenio Peninsula, Force Eight and Mia Moo. MIA MOO (3) found one too good last time out in the Grade 3 Umzimkhulu Stakes last start. She returns from a decent spell which would have done her the world of good. She will enjoy the drop to 1200m and if keeping on a straight line, she should be too good for this field. SALENIO PENINSULA (1) is unbeaten from two starts, the latest of which was here over this trip. She jumps up sharply in class this time but looks to have the ability and can bring up the hat-trick. FORCE EIGHT (2) had an excuse last time out as she was reported to be not striding out. She ran a solid third in her penultimate run here over 1160m on the Standside course and if putting her best foot forward, she can finish in the money. BOSUM BUDDY (5) is the stablemate of the third pick. She showed good speed over 1160m on the Standside course here last time and was only run down late. Rachel Venniker takes 1.5kg off her back and she can figure in the top 3 placings.
