Plenty of pace with Can't Catch Me, Beautiful One and Secret Life all pushing forward from their low draws. ME AND YOU (1) looks to kick off this prep the way she ended the last ten weeks ago when she scored over 1600m at Turffontein Inside. Promising filly suited this trip fresh and looks hard to beat. EIGHT HATS (3) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1700m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SECRET LIFE (8) was in the money over this distance two back then stepped out over more ground last time and struggled when fourth at Turffontein Standside. Yet to score here but hasn't been far away. Watch for sharp improvement. CONCORDIA (4) produced another moderate effort last start when 17 lengths from the winner in 11th over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
