Strong tempo with Pretty Analia, Kortvandraad and Blood Of Eden leading the way. KORTVANDRAAD (5) has continued to improve since breaking her maiden and was a strong runner-up over 1800m on the Classic course here last time out. Fitter for that effort and with Gavin Lerena aboard, she looks a leading contender. GLAMOROUS LADY (3) finished off well for second over 1400m at Turffontein before heading for a 15-week break. If ready to fire fresh, she has the ability to be competitive. SURPRISE PARTY (2) finished just over 2 lengths behind the top pick last start but meets that rival 1.5kg better at the weights and can make the margin closer. Include in all top 4 combos. MIRACULOUS MOMENT (1) impressed when shedding her maiden status over 1600m on the Turffontein Inside track. She rises in grade but has plenty of upside and should measure up. Each way value.
