Hot pace certain with Nettleton, Mist In Scotland and Virginia Beach keen to take up the running. JUST THE TWO OF US (5) is better than her last start run suggests. She won a good race in her penultimate outing over this distance on the Classic course. She resumes from a spell and having won fresh-up previously has winning claims. NETTLETON (1) is a winner of her last two starts, the latest of which was over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course when scoring by a nose. Piere Strydom retains the ride and she can bring up the hat-trick. VIRGINIA BEACH (3) is better than her last start run for sixth of seven would suggest as she was reported to be coughing. She drops back in class and Gavin Lerena may be able to coax that little bit extra out of her when it matters most. LADY OF MEMPHIS (9) produced a reasonable effort to finish second of seven last start over 1200m at Turffontein Inside. That followed a win on debut at this track over today's distance. Racing well and jumping from the inside gate rates highly.
