Almond Sea from the Tony Peter stable takes her place in Race 5, the Racing Today Non-Black Type Sophomore 1000, and she looks to be the best bet on the card.
She cost herself at the start in the Listed Betway National Colour Stakes last time. However, the way she finished off her race was eye-catching.
She will strip a much fitter horse and Calvin Habib steps back into the saddle. If jumping on terms, she should take a power of beating.
Trainer Robyn Klaasen sends out Frozen Fantasy in Race 6. She stayed on when fourth over 1600m in the Betway Gr3 Fillies Mile last time.
It must be noted that the form of that race has been franked. The way she finishes off her races suggests that she will love the rise to 1800m.
She carries a handy galloping mass of 52.5kgs and with a bit of luck in running, she can notch up her second-career victory.
