|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Twostep Queen, Doitwithdiamonds and Woman's World prominent. Hard to go past WORLD OF ALICE (1) who is Grade 1 placed and returned from a spell over 1450m with a strong win at Vaal. Extra trip a huge plus and is unbeaten from two runs second-up. Expected to go close again. TEO TORRIATTE (8) has been in great form winning four of last six. Too strong over 2200m last time and is a course and distance winner. Take catching again. SOLDIER'S EYE (6) finished just half a length from Teo Torriatte last time and meets her a kilo better. Going well and deserves a win. WOMAN'S WORLD (11) just missed second-up over 1500m at Vaal and should appreciate the extra ground. Gets chance to find best.
