WINGS OF KILDRA and ONCEINABLUEMOON have the form and experience to be competitive but both are vulnerable to less-exposed rivals. Well-related newcomers SAND SCRIPT and SHIVERING LIGHT will not need to be special to play leading roles on debut, especially if the market speaks in their favour.

WILLOW CHARM, TIGER'S CAPTAIN and JAWBREAKER ran into the money last time and can do so again with a repeat of those performances. HIGHWAYMAN HARRY had excuses for a disappointing last run but could have a say if bouncing back to the form of his previous outing. Well-bred newcomers SIVAJI, BRAVE WAAM and RABBLE ROUSER are attractively bred and if not too green, could fight out the finish in this lineup. The latter, with the benefit of a sex allowance, is marginally preferred.

BUFFALO STORM CODY fluffed his lines in a Cape Town Grade 1 last time but a return to the Highveld, and track and trip over which he is unbeaten, should see him atone. Stablemate MAIN DEFENDER has a good record racing fresh after a break but he will probably need the outing following a lengthy layoff. WILLIAM ROBERTSON, ALMOND SEA and recent winner CHROME TOURMALINE are course-and-distance specialists with the means to make their presence felt too.

POETS WARRIOR and ENFLAME produced career-best performances when winning over track and trip last time. Both remain competitive under resultant penalties so they could fight out the finish. UNITED COUNCIL had legitimate excuses for her disappointing last start. She's the best-weighted runner and should make her presence felt. BREEZE OVER and ARUMUGAM appeal most of the remainder.

BELIEVE IN FATE caught the eye last time when 3rd at a higher level over a similar trip and a repeat of that performance off an unchanged mark, with the aid of his rider's 1.5kg allowance, could suffice in this grade. XENOPHON and AFRICAN PRINCE also have consistent recent form at a slightly higher level so they should have roles to play. Fillies BLIZZARD SNOW and stablemate ARASHI are class-droppers too with the means to have a say in the outcome. Lightly raced 3yo geldings ROMILLY, STONEYWOOD and ROCKAROUNDTHECLOCK have scope to improve so could get into the picture at longer odds.

Speedy RIFLE QUEEN returned to winning ways when leading from start to finish over 1160m in what was her second run after a rest. She remains open to improvement and should be equally effective over this shorter trip, so it should pay to follow her progress. CHASING HAPPINESS, LITTLE BALLERINA and last-start winner POBLANO are weighted to be competitive and they have the form and experience to challenge their younger rival. GREEN DIAMOND returns to the Highveld after an unsuccessful spell in Cape Town and she too could have a role to play if bouncing back to her earlier form.

Cases can be made for most in what is a hot renewal of this 3yo Grade 3 sprint, though none appeals more than KZN raider WILD JUSTICE whose progress it could pay to follow on his Highveld debut and a hat-trick bid. Fellow recent scorers CHAPBOOK and THE LAST DUKE should have a say in the finish if coping with resultant 6-point penalties, while fillies ELEGANTRIX, ONE FINE WINTER and VANAKKAM are weighted to be competitive too. CHARMING CHEETAH, ZALATORIS and MIAMI MOUNTAIN aren't taken lightly.

Class-droppers TOO LATE MY MATE and PRINCESS ILARIA are closely matched on recent form and capable of playing leading roles at this level off slightly reduced marks. Last-start winners SCARLETT HEART and BABETTE'S FEAST should be competitive too under resultant penalties, while GRACE'S KISS and AQAUARIUS remain open to improvement so could make their presence felt too. However, it could pay to side with REECE'S WISH who opened her account over this distance and will have more to offer.

PARIS FUN finished 3rd over track and trip at a higher level last time so a repeat of that performance off an unchanged mark should suffice in this grade. Versatile ROSY LEMON has a good record over the trip and on the strength and consistency of her recent form, should play another leading role. Recent scorer PEARL IN HER CROWN has more to do at this level under a penalty, so a bigger threat will likely come from stablemate DONDOYAKI whose form and experience at this level stand her in good stead. Maturing SIKELOI and lightly raced MATTIAZO have earning potential too.
