A moderate line up. GETTNA raced green on debut and never got into it. She goes over a mile here and if stays will do a lot better. PHANTOM BID got lost early on last time and could turn it around with hard knocker THORNEYWOOD CHASE as well as OH SO SMART. LADY IMHOFF and ROYAL CONSORT could take home a cheque. Watch the first-timers especially LOQUACIOUS.

CHINA BEACH has finished 3rd in both starts to date and could be suited to the turn. BLACK OLEANDER has found support and is improving with racing. FLY PHILLIPPA was backed when way downfield on debut. She will improve on that. Watch the betting on first-timers especially KAROO BREEZE and BAJAN BEAUTY.

SOCIAL MEDIA and MASTER BANKER have fair recent form but neither are star material. There are many well bred first -timers which if supported could take honours including TRIP TO RIO, CAPTAIN COYOTE and GREY MIRAGE.

Speedsters JADE BAY and VALBERG are yet to shape over further than 1000m. They could cut each others throats and stable companion DELIVER THE POWER as well as LINK MAN could capitalise. MERCADO returns as a gelding, has blinkers back on and will also benefit from a cracking pace. The balance are all capable of getting into the frame.

SHE'S A STUNNER won full of running in Kzn last time. She has a hefty 62,5kg to shoulder but with Striker aboard from pole position could follow up. ALL IN THE MIND is on a hat-trick. She is better over a bit further but could win with blinkers on. WEEKEND SPECIAL beat PASCHAL MOON (1kg better) by 1 length but it could go either way over the little extra.

UNDERCOVER CAT finished nearly 2 lengths in front of SEMRA (0,5kg worse) last time. Both returned after rests but the latter may improve more and could turn it around. WISDOM STONE is holding form and won't be far off them. There shouldn't be much to choose between SUEDETTE and YOURMYEVERYTHING on their recent meeting. EMPIRE OF THE MOON and HIGH HORSE LADY can earn.

HEART OF A LION is a classy sort. He needed a sprint last time and has been given enough time for this mile race. MR MULLINER should be at peak fitness now. He meets NATIONAL KEY on 4,5kg better terms for 6 lengths but could turn it around. BROOKS-CLUB, NEWTON POWER, FLAG OF FRANCE and ROCCO'S LUCK are not out of it either.

EMPEROR AUGUSTUS was narrowly beaten last time but carries 8kg more and could be hard pressed to give 9,5kg to TRIPLE BEAT. The latter won his maiden on the 3rd time of asking and has scope for improvement. MOVE LIKE JAGGER is 4,5kg better than DUE AND PAYABLE for 2,25 lengths. REIGN VICTORIOUS, SHEPHERD'S WARNING, BRASS VERDICT and BOLT OF LIGHT could pull it off.

MAAYAAT just won her maiden last time but is on the upgrade and could go in again. BESAME MUCHO ran below form on sand last time but should be in the shake-up now back on turf. BERMUDA BOWL has a chance if in the mood. OHIKI BAY has a wide draw but could get into the picture with THE INTERVENTION, SILVA SHAMA, GENTLE DESIRE and MIRROR THE MOON.
