MERRYWEATHER (3) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at her last six starts, most recently scoring over 1m at Turffontein Standside. Sure to measure up again. DUCHESS OF PALOMA (4) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1m2f, beaten 1. 1 lengths. Is going well this campaign, recording two wins from five starts. Among the leading chances. SURPRISE PARTY (5) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1. 2 lengths as public elect over 1m1f at Turffontein Standside. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. LADY BLUNT (2) comes here following a win over 1m2f at this track two weeks ago, getting home by one length. Has solid form at this circuit with two wins and three minor placings from seven starts. Expected to feature.
