SWORD OF LIGHT produced a promising debut effort over 1450m on the Classic course. She lost a length leaving the start but stayed on at the finish. She would have gained from the experience and should love the extra distance on offer. With the natural improvement that is expected, she may be the one to beat. UNIVERSAL GIRL was in need of her debut effort over 1200m. She would have come on from the outing and should improve over this distance. MADAME POMPADOUR is better than her last start over 1800m. She finished second in her penultimate outing over this C&D. S'manga Khumalo keeps faith in the ride which is encouraging. AMAZE ME finished 2.25 lengths behind the third choice last time. She is 4kgs worse off at the weights and may battle to turn the form around.
