Celtic Rumours from the Sean Tarry stable takes her place in Race 2 and she is the best bet on the card.
She was running on strongly when third over 1200m last time. It must be noted that the horse that finished fourth that day has come out and won since.
The daughter of Vercingetorix is progressive and she will love the rise to 1450m. From pole position, she should throw out a big challenge to her male rivals.
Trainer Clinton Binda sends out Umthombo Wolwazi in Race 7. He won a game race in his last start over this distance at Turffontein.
He showed good speed and found extra where it matters most. The son of Elusive Fort received a six-pound penalty for that victory.
Marco van Rensburg retains the ride and against similar company, he can follow up.
