Thekwini Stakes winner BAVARIAN BEAUTY (1) ran fifth at her latest appearance over 1m at Greyville, finishing 1.75 lengths from the winner. Has solid form at this track, winning two races from four starts. Looks to have an edge on most of these. CELTIC RUMOURS (2) finished tenth when resuming last start, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1m at Greyville. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring four times from seven starts. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Sure to be in the finish. Group 2 placegetter CAPTAIN PEG (3) is a distance specialist who could only manage sixth when resuming at Turffontein Inside two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 6f at Greyville, beaten 3.5 lengths. Faces an easier assignment so she is ready to find the winners' list. KEY ELEMENT (5) finished third last start over 1m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
