DUCHESS OF PALOMA has gone from strength to strength since relocating to the Highveld, winning 3 of her last 4 starts including both course-and-distance appearances. She was an authoritative winner over track and trip last time and a repeat of that performance under an 8-point penalty should suffice. FREE IN SEATTLE, ART NOUVEAU and AZALEAS FOR ALL are consistent hard-knockers with solid form at this level, and they should acquit themselves competitively. COCOMELON could have more to offer off a reduced mark and with blinkers refitted.
