Verdict

ANGEL'S OASIS has run well in 2 starts at a higher level since relocating to the Highveld and a repeat of either performance off a slightly reduced mark should suffice in this grade. Recent maiden winner VARACHINO'S CHAMP, last-start handicap scorer ORIENTAL BOUQUET and consistent hard-knocker TIME FOR CHARITY all have the means to pose a threat. BLINDFIRE, QUEEN'S PACT and LILAC SNOW could also make their presence felt if building on improved recent performances.

Top Tip: Blindfire (3)
Watch out for: Varachino's Champ (4)
