Omnipotent, My One And Only and Micke's Bomb to match motors but there will be other pressure. LADY OF MEMPHIS (1) ran a fair race over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course last time out when finishing fourth of 10. She takes a slight drop in class and is back against her own sex. Has dropped in the ratings and she may be the one to side with. OMNIPOTENT (2) was an easy winner when shedding her maiden tag over this course and distance last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since. She takes on stronger rivals but she has scope and should be well up to the task at hand. ARILENA (3) is better than her last start run over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course would suggest. She has finished second once and third once from as many starts over this course and distance. Has each-way claims. LADY OF ARC (6) is coming off a win at this track and drops 1.5kg from that last run. Expected to be in the mix again.
