FRANCINE (2) produced a reasonable effort when second last start over 5¾f at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. That followed a win at Vaal the start prior. Gavin Lerena is a key engagement. Nicely placed to return to winning form. HAPPY MO (4) was far from disgraced when second last start over 1m at Vaal, beaten 1.5 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FASTNET FILLY (8) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on December 7 over 5¾f when she scored by 1.3 lengths. Going up a level this time but she deserves plenty of thought. BETULA (1) returns after a lay-off of three months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 6f at Turffontein Inside. Yet to win when resuming but generally runs well with three minor placings from five tries. Definite top-three chance.
