MISS NOVAX produced a strong finish when winning on debut over 1200m on this course. It must be noted that multiple horses from that form line have come out and won since. She found betting support that day which suggests that she was showing good work at home. The daughter of Flower Alley will love the rise to 1500m and she can remain unbeaten. SISTER GOLDEN HAIR followed up her maiden win with a good second-place finish over 1400m at Turffontein. Gavin Lerena is likely to use her early gate speed to overcome the widest draw and she may be hard to peg back. LITTLEMISSSPLENDID ran a fair race over 1160m at Turffontein last time. The daughter of Act Of War tries further and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, she should be competitive. WAITING ON CHARLIE showed some improvement when fourth over 1200m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. She is a progressive type and may have more to come.
