ONCEINABLUEMOON should have finished closer to the winner on debut over 1000m on this course. She took time to find her feet and had to be switched late. The daughter of One World would have gained from the experience and will love the rise to 1160m. She carries a handy galloping mass of 54.5kgs and should give the males a run for their money. AMANDLA NGAWETHU returns from a 13-week break which would have done him the world of good. He was disappointing in his last outing at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. On previous form, he may pose a threat. LANNYBOY was in need of his debut effort over this C&D. He would have gained from the experience and should make the natural progression. ECHOES OF WAR is an unraced son of Rafeef from the Fabian Habib stable with Gavin Lerena in the saddle. If not in need of the run, he should give a good account of himself. The betting market will be the best guide with regards to his chances.
