POTBERRIE acquitted himself well in defeat at a higher level last time under a 6-point penalty. He won his previous start over this course and distance and another bold bid is expected. MISS LIA (only filly in the race) also boasts a 100% record over track and trip. She should fare better after a no-show from the widest draw in the Grade 2 Gauteng Fillies' Guineas. Highly regarded BANFF is unexposed so can't be taken lightly stretching out to this distance in his peak outing. Returning KAMENSKY (gelded), lightly raced ROYAL FORCE, PEACE TREATY and LAVA FIRE can get involved too.
