Strong tempo with Montana Lights, Second Breath and Omnipotent leading the charge. FAITHFUL NEO (6) tired late when fifth over 1200m at the Vaal last time. She won her debut over this course and distance. The booking of Callan Murray is a big plus and if putting her best foot forward, she can return to winning form. GIMMEFORSURE (11) won a good race on debut over this distance on the Standside course when sent out as the favourite. She takes on stronger rivals but to be a smart type of a filly and can remain unbeaten. GAELIC DANCER (10) should have finished closer to the winner last time. She won her only attempt over this course and distance. She would not be a shock winner. MONTANA LIGHTS (1) returns from a spell. She drops in class and is back against her own sex. Gavin Lerena rides on her return which is a big plus. If not in need of the run, she should give a good account of herself.
