Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. GIMME'S LASSIE (4) ran on strongly after a slow start to win her last outing over 1200m, on this course. She has finished second twice and third once from five starts over this distance. If getting away to a clean start, she may find herself in the winner's enclosure once again. THREE ROCKS (1) is better than her last start run would suggest as the jockey reported something to be amiss in the running. She has won twice, finished second once and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. If putting her best foot forward, she should be fighting out the finish. TRIP TO MAPUTO (7) produced a strong finish when winning her last start over 1200m at Kenilworth. She finished second in her only attempt on this course. Luyolo Mxothwa retains the ride and the combination merit healthy respect. HAPPY HOLLY (12) finished fourth over 1300m at Fairview All Weather last start and returns from a spell. She has placed previously when produced fresh-up and is in the mix,
