Expect a genuine pace with plenty of speed engaged. RINGA RINGA ROSES (4) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1450m at Turffontein Inside. Ready to win after two runs back and looks a top chance in this. PARIS FUN (11) lines up for the first time since February 21. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. OPEN SESAME (9) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third over 1600m at Turffontein Standside after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Likely improver with strong prospects. FIRE IN HER SOUL (3) last appeared when she finished fifth over 1400m at Turffontein Standside on January 11. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts two wins and two placings. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
