CAPTAIN VENTURA has shown good pace on the Polytrack but may go better on the turf. She should have the run of the race from gate 1. Watch out for WINTER BELLE. She hasn't been consistent on the Highveld but has shown glimpses of ability and must be respected in this line-up. Rafeef filly SOVEREIGN GEM has shown pace and could prefer the drop in trip. WINTER BLESSING found one too good last time. She has run well at this track and must be given a fair chance. SARGASSO SEA ran a fair race from a wide draw here last time. First-timer LOVECOMESKNOCKING needs to be watched.
