Several of these have good gate speed so a strong tempo is expected. MISS WORLD (9) is better than her last start would suggest. She is 1.5kgs better off at the weights today and that should be enough for the tables to be turned. TRIP TO MAPUTO (8) had excuses in her last start over 1200m on the Fairview polytrack. If finding the form of her penultimate run, she should have a say in the outcome of this race. BABELICIOUS (4) finished among the placegetters last start when second at this track over 1000m and should be at peak now. Rates a top chance. WORLDCRAFT (5) is back from a spell. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1100m contest at this track by one length. Has a solid record at this circuit with two wins from three starts. Worth plenty of thought.
