Hot pace certain with Francilien, Raining Rubies and Just The Two Of Us keen to take up the running. FRANCINE (4) lacked extra late over the mile on the Turffontein Inside course last time. She has won twice from three starts over this course and distance. She is drawn on the outside of the course and if putting her best foot forward, she can return to winning form. FRANCILIEN (1) has good consistent form lines to her credit. It must be noted that the horse that finished third in her last outing has come out and won since. She has won twice and finished second once from four starts over this course and distance. She will strip much fitter and is one of the leading chances. CARE FORGOT (2) returns from a spell and is having her first run for Sean Tarry. She is better than her recent form suggests and can show improvement. VALIEVA (7) was an easy winner of her last start over 1000m on this course. She takes a rise in class and should give a good account of herself.
