POWER OF PEARLS has been in the money in all 9 starts and could get her overdue victory. DETAILED FORECAST has been costly to follow in all 4 starts but looks ready for her just reward. ONCEINABLUEMOON is rarely far off the winner and is looking for Trifecta money. THE REASON was backed in her last 2 runs and could get into the action again.

HIGHWAYMAN HARRY attracts strong support but has been costly to follow. He could get it right. TIGER'S CAPTAIN is improving all the while and shouldn't be far off. ARIZONA MAGIC has improved somewhat in blinkers and can get into the reckoning. GREEN MACHINE disappointed when heavily backed over the longer distance but is back to a sprint - respect. Newcomers GREENANDGOLD and COOL GAMBLER were costly purchases and are worth a market check on debut.

WORLD ATTRACTION could hardly have been more impressive when winning on debut and with any improvement, should remain undefeated. Unbeaten filly VOLCANIC HEAT and promising last-start winner GIMME A VODKA will likely pose the biggest threat. SPIRIT OF GABZ and RUBY WHISPER have the form and experience to take home a cheque.

GRISELDA, QUEEN LEILA and SECRETARY BIRD confirmed the promise of encouraging debut efforts by winning last time out, and they should be competitive with improvement expected. LANZAROTE and STAGGERWING get 3kg from those rivals and are weighted to make their presence felt. CUSTODIAN also has the form and experience to get into the picture.

Consistent WILLY MEET AGAIN reverts to same-sex company and is weighted to play a leading role. Last-start scorers FAMOUS LADY, BAKWENA, CARE FORGOT and WARNING SOUND remain competitive off their current marks. GERBERA and WARM RECEPTION have solid form credentials at this level and could get right into the mix. ACCEPT COOKIES and KISSHOTEN are others who can have a say in the outcome.

HAZY DAZY was an authoritative winner of Leg 1 of the Wilgerbosdrift Triple Tiara over 1600m and this extended trip will be more to her liking. CHARGE IT (2nd) and LITTLEMISSMILLION (5th) are held on that form but could get closer with the extra 200m also likely to suit. GOLDEN PALM (3rd), LOWVELD LILY (4th), DAISY JONES (6th) and DRUMNADROCHIT (7th) have a bit to find but can take home a cheque.

Stellar cast headed by multiple Grade 1 winner JAN VAN GOYEN whose colours were lowered by older rivals last time. He should, however, prove an entirely different proposition back on the Highveld and against his own age group. Stablemates SPLITTHEEIGHTS, winner of Leg 1 of the TAB SA Triple Crown, and ONE EYE ON VEGAS (4th) are closely matched on their Guineas meeting and there shouldn't be much between them again, though the same applies to runner-up GRAND EMPIRE and 3rd-place finisher TRUST - both could have more to offer over the extra 200m.

Top-class visitors SEE IT AGAIN and THE REAL PRINCE have a score to settle after a few close encounters in the Western Cape recently. The latter edged their L'Ormarins King's Plate meeting over this trip but the former avenged that narrow defeat in the WSB Cape Town Met over 2000m, and a stiff 1600m could be more to his liking. Past winners MAIN DEFENDER (2024) and COSMIC SPEED (2025), as well as fellow Grade 1 winner and recent Grade 3 scorer FIRE ATTACK all have the means to make their presence felt. However, a bigger threat may come from the sole 3yo TIN PAN ALLEY.

Many with chances in a big field but none appeals more than progressive hat-trick seeker TAXI TO THE MOON whose outside draw in a big field will aid his cause. CONSTELLATION, MOUNT PINATUBO, best-weighted filly WHISTLE THE TUNE and last-start winner (another filly) GREEN DIAMOND are also ideally positioned and weighted to be competitive. WILLIAM ROBERTSON, a Grade 1 winner over track and trip, TRUTH and ZIYASHA also have the means to stake a claim, though it doesn't end there.

PRECOCIOUS has thrived since relocating to the Highveld and a 6-point penalty for her hat-trick win shouldn't prevent another forward showing, especially with her rider taking 4kg off the back. In-form POBLANO and unexposed MANYELETI have the means to fight out the finish but concede weight to the selection. ALPINE JET and BOSUM BUDDY aren't without chances either.

PRETTY PERSUASIVE made no impression from the widest draw in a 1600m 3yo Grade 2 last time but she should fare better at this level, even off a 6-point higher mark. Older rivals HONG KONG, SHE'S MY BABY and TOO LATE MY MATE have the form and experience at this level to threaten the selection. STREISAND and VAMANOS remain competitive in this grade under handy galloping weights.

TRAIL RUNNER got the better of TRADITIONAL BELIEF (on debut) in a 1160m maiden but is 2kg worse off and engaged to run at an earlier meeting. QUIET WINTER and returning ROYAL KAILANI are open to any amount of improvement over this extended trip but both are awkwardly positioned in wide starting berths. Older fillies PRINCESS ILARIA, GLAMOROUS LADY and CAPE SAFFRON have the means to get into the picture too.
