She has won her last three starts well. She set the pace over 1450m in the Joburg Spring F & M Challenge last time and found extra to keep all challengers at bay.
The daughter of Elusive Fort is unbeaten from two starts on this course. She is likely to have her own way in front once again and should notch up her fifth career victory.
Imperial Ruby from the Corne Spies yard represents decent each way value in the Listed Java Stakes.
He produced a typical second run after a rest last time. His penultimate effort when winning over 1800m on the Inside course catches the eye. The son of Silvano stays all day and should be at peak fitness for this contest. He will be mowing down the frontrunners in the run down to the line.
