Johan Janse van Vuuren holds another strong hand. NETTLETON finished a close-up 2nd last time in a stronger race over course and distance against male opposition. She is refitted with blinkers under a 3-point penalty but could go one better. Lightly raced stablemate LOVEGRASS is open to improvement trying this trip for the first time. GOLDEN ASPEN and HEIRLOOM have dropped in the ratings and will be competitive off current marks, especially after improved recent outings. MICKE'S BOMB and INVENTRIX complete the shortlist.
