STRAWBERRY THIEF is the first runner in the Eastern Cape for trainer James Crawford. She has only been modest of late but her form is still good enough to win this race. SPLICETHEMAINBRACE has been unreliable of late but does have ability and must be respected. Stable companion HOERIKWAGGO has won her last two starts and will be a real threat to these rivals. ENCHANTING CHOICE may have just needed her latest start and is not out of it. HONORABLE MEMBER and EAST COAST GIRL are both in very good form but this is a tougher ask for them.
