VOLCANIC HEAT was not disgraced when fourth in the Grade 2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Nursery last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished third that day has come out and won since. The daughter of Erupt has ability and can notch up her third-career victory. THE BACHELORETTE finished 0.4 lengths behind QUEEN LEILA on debut. She is 3kgs better off at the weights today. The daughter of William Longsword would have gained from the experience and with the natural improvement that is expected, she can feature. NO DRAMA ran a fair race in the Grade 3 TAB Pretty Polly Stakes last time. The daughter of Erik The Red has scope and can finish in the placings. QUEEN LEILA has fair form to her name. She finished 1 length behind the third selection in her penultimate run. The pair meet on the same weight terms today and she may have to settle for the same result.
