Juvenile filly SECRET PALACE showed promise on debut over the course and distance. With natural improvement expected, she looks well placed here to open her account. SUPER FINE is likely to pose a threat, though, having run her best races over this trip and with blinkers on recently. Well-bred OUR MOTHERLAND ought to improve so could get a look in, along with TIDAL TUSSLE.

RIGA D'ORA races without blinkers and as a gelding for the first time. He has more scope than most of these so could emerge victoriously in a race lacking depth. DUKE OF SWING has been plagued by bad draws and should pose more of a threat from a better gate. CATEGORY FOUR and BRAVE DETAIL are also capable of getting a look in on their best form.

TEHUANO was a close-up 2nd over a similar trip last time and, with progress expected in first-time headgear, should leave the maiden ranks sooner rather than later. TUSCAN LIGHT has run well in both starts over 1600m and should pose a threat over the extra. FAVOURITE MODEL, CAPE ASH, VIJETA and OUR BISCUIT are likely to complete the minors.

Open. JAGESA JAGESA and CORRIDO (excuses last time) have been holding form at this level but have wide draws to negotiate. SUPA MUFTI and WINTER CRUSADE have not been far off in recent starts so should be competitive again. MOLLELOA and LITTLEWOOD are capable of better than disappointing last runs, so could be worth another chance. Maiden winner JIVE EXPRESS has claims too.

Hat-trick seeking CERTIFIABLE won a stronger race last time and could prove hard to beat at this level despite a resultant penalty. ARMSTRONG may have needed his last start after gelding so could give cheek. Last-start winners GOLDEN LION (wide draw) and CAPTAIN'S ALPHA can get in on the action, while COLOUR OF LIGHT is useful and could give the boys something to worry about.

APACHE TOO confirmed the promise of his sprint debut when winning well over a similar at his next start and there should be more to come from him. He will need to improve though to get the better of consistent hard-knockers LAKE KINNERET, PURPLE DIAMOND and FINCHATTON who are all capable on their day. Pay healthy respect to talented ARABIAN AIR on his Highveld debut.

ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY has recaptured her form since dropping in the merit ratings and looks ready to win again. GET YOUR GROVE ON is closely matched with that rival and should be competitive from pole position. TRICIA has beaten both those rivals but faces a tough task confirming superiority from a wide gate. HAREER and KIMBERLEY GREEN can get in on the action too.

RACHEL was impressive when winning on debut despite showing signs of inexperience. She would have come on appreciably from that outing and with natural improvement could prove too good for these male rivals. Veterans CUMBERLAND and SLEEPINSEATTLE have been erratic of late but could play a role in the outcome.BATTLE CREEK won't be far off. Consider reserve runner CHEVRON!
