RARE EARTH was a disappointment in his first two local starts but did put up a better effort last time out and could go one place better. TIME HONORED is consistent and could have that rewarded with a victory - but will it be this time? MATTER OF TRUST was well beaten last week but might play a minor role. GOOD SHINE tends to lack a strong finish but is always capable of playing a minor role. TWICE A QUEEN might be looking for further to be seen at her best, but jockey Richard Fourie continues to ride her so she must be respected. LADY OF FATE has improved of late and is not out of it. FREESTYLE DANCE makes a local debut and it could well be a winning one.
