LADY VERITAS (1) gets the nod with the class drop, inside draw and proven 1400m record all in her favour. Her fourth behind Boozy Susie in FM BM82 grade was sound enough at big odds, and two wins plus a placing from six tries around this trip gives her a strong platform back in distance. MIGHTY MARY (3) is the main danger after a one-length second to Dream Searcher at this track, with her 1400m profile and Richard Fourie record giving her form real substance. SABRE WING (4) has not missed a placing in four starts, was beaten only a neck last time and had earlier beaten First Bloom by two lengths. SOUTH OF FRANCE (7) resumes off a Kenilworth win by a nose and has the 1400m record to run a bold race fresh.
