Thirty three runs since last win in 2021. First run since leaving C. Spies when third of 11 in handicap at Vaal (7.2f, good, 16/1) 32 days ago. Others more persuasive.

Forecasts

Try Me (2/1), Big City Girl (11/4), Gilda Gray (9/2), Tsitsikamma Pearl (9/2), Countess Danza (11/1), Bushveld (12/1), Marshmallow (18/1), Shiny Silva (20/1), Blindedbythelights (20/1)

Verdict

COUNTESS DANZA's overall form just gives her the edge. Tsitsikamma Pearl looks the best back-up if the selection underperforms, while Marshmallow is perhaps the most interesting other runner.
