PROUD MARY is an unraced daughter of Vercingetorix from the Mike and Mathew de Kock stable with Callan Murray aboard. She is related to Grade 1 winner Thunderstruck. If not in need of the run, she should start her career on a positive note. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to her chances. GRANDE HAWAII ran a creditable race on debut over 1160m at Turffontein. She lost a length leaving the start, understandably raced green but the manner in which she stayed on at the finish was encouraging. The daughter of Hawwaam would have come on from the run and she should make the natural progression. DRACHENFUTTER is an unraced daughter of Hawwaam from the Lucky Houdalakis stable with Craig Zackey in the irons. If not too green in running, she should give a good account of herself. PLATINUM SHAY is better than her last start as she was reported to be not striding out. She finished third on debut over 1000m on this course. The blinkers should keep her mind on the task at hand.
