Genuine pace with Queen's Pact finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. ANGEL'S OASIS (8) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 1.4 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Back in grade and fitter again. Well placed and sure to prove tough to beat. TIME FOR CHARITY (10) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only half a length over 1000m at Turffontein Inside. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. QUEEN'S PACT (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a neck from the winner in second over 1000m at Turffontein Inside. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. BLINDFIRE (3) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time over 1000m at this track. Best figures measure up and is sure to run well.
