Race Tip

Group 3 winner SHANTASTIC (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 4 lengths, over 6f in the G1 SA Fillies Sprint at Scottsville. Should be peaking now and is ready to win. Group 2 placegetter JUST BE LEKKER (5) finished third two runs back at Turffontein Standside then improved last time out to score by 2 lengths as favourite over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside. S'manga Khumalo scored on her last time and retains the mount. Stepping up a level this time but on current form she is right in contention. Group 1 placegetter ELEGANT ICE (7) is a talented filly who tackled tougher grade last time, finishing 5.5 lengths behind October Morn over 6f in the G1 SA Fillies Sprint at Scottsville. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. TROPPO VELOCE (9) returned from a lay-off four weeks ago when she was beaten 2.5 lengths into eighth over 5½f at this track. Fitter so a likely improver.
