Race Tip

SPLICETHEMAINBRACE (1) is a talented filly who was well held last time in tougher grade over 1m in the G1 Cape Fillies Guineas at Kenilworth. Richard Fourie is back on and has a solid record on the three-year-old, including six wins. Should be hard to stop. HAPPY HOLLY (4) finished fifth when resuming at this track two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7f at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to take this out. IGNITETHELIGHT (3) was in great form at the end of the last campaign with back-to-back wins, the latest over 1m at this track 12 weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. CAN'T SAY NO (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at this track, beaten 8 lengths into seventh. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
