RAFEEF'S QUEEN outran market expectations last time when improving with the benefit of an introductory outing to finish second over 1000m. She is open to further progress and could have more to offer over this extended trip. MISS HONEY BEE has shown enough in two Eastern Cape appearances to warrant respect on her Highveld debut, though a bigger threat to the selection will likely come from well-bred newcomers NAVIGATRIX and PRETTY GIRL - watch the betting for clues. VOLARE VELOCE is another debutante to keep an eye on.
