A solid tempo from Escapologist, Reckless Love and Givers Grace all kicking up to take advantage of their low draws. ESCAPOLOGIST (1) was not disgraced when finishing fifth of 11 against stronger company in her last start over 1750m on this course. She takes a drop in class and from pole position can notch up her fifth-career victory. LIGHT OF DAY (11) ran a fair race on the polytrack last time. Her three starts prior to that outing were good. S'manga Khumalo is in the saddle and with luck in the running should pose a threat. KIND JUDY (10) with luck in the running she should have a say in the outcome of this contest. PINSTRIPE (5) produced a better run last start when finishing fifth over 2400m at this track. She finished third in her only attempt over this course and distance. Rachel Venniker retains the ride and she should be finishing in the money.
