HAT'S QUEEN (2) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished fifth when fresh from a lay-off two starts back at Vaal then improved and scored over 1m1f at Vaal two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Has the talent to produce another positive result. ONE RELIGION (7) finished 5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1m1f at Vaal two-and-a-half weeks ago as 9/4 favourite. Steps up in distance. Should be prominent from the outset. Will prove tough to beat. MARY READ (4) didn't fire over 7f at Vaal last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. LOVE TAP (6) finished third last time over 1m1f at Vaal, beaten 3.5 lengths. This is the right race and can find winning form.
