Abundant early pace from the speedy trio of Rattle Bag, Alesia's Love and Sweet Basil. JUST BE NICE (5) resumed from a spell last start over 1450m on the Turffontein Inside course and finished third of 12. She jumped outwards leaving the start but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. She will strip much fitter and rates highly. MIA FIORE (1) ran home well when winning her last start over this course and distance. She takes a rise in class but is in a good space and should be well up to the task at hand. ALESIA'S LOVE (3) won a good race in her last start over 1450m on the Classic course. Looks well placed to go back-to-back. HILLARY STEP (9) won a game race in her last start over 1400m at Turffontein. She takes on stronger rivals but is above average and should be figuring in the finish.
