TWOSTEP QUEEN (3) is a distance specialist who improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at this track with a win over 7¼f at Turffontein Inside two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 3. 5 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ACROSS THE POND (4) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when beaten 2. 75 lengths into third over 1m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. When resuming over 1m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Winning rider Callan Murray stays aboard. Fitter and poses a big threat. POPLAR PARK (7) has not raced since she finished off last campaign with a strong win over 1m2f at Turffontein Standside seven months ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Solid claims on best form.
