VALENTINA BALDUCCI is better than her last start in the Grade 3 Ducat Africa Fillies Mile as she was reported to have choked up. She won a good race in the Grade 3 TAB Starling Stakes in her penultimate outing. The daughter of Skitt Skizzle jumps from a good draw of two and with Gavin Lerena in the saddle, she may be the one to beat. PRETTY PERSUASIVE has good form lines to her name. She has won once and finished third once from as many starts over this C&D. Keagan de Melo rides and the pair merit healthy respect. MAMLAMBO was interestingly sent to the front in the Grade 3 Ducat Africa Fillies Mile last time and never found a finish. She is at her best over this distance and with Marco van Rensburg back in the saddle, she should be a big runner. WARM RECEPTION won a good race over 1600m on the Vaal Classic course last time. The daughter of Fire Away clearly has class about her and should give a good account of herself.
