GATHERING WINTER and ERIK'S GIRL should be competitive if building on the improvement of recent displays. DESTINY'S DREAM showed enough in the Western Cape to warrant respect on her Highveld debut, and she remains open to improvement in her first start for a new stable. DRACHENFUTTER can have a say in the finish if making further progress after a last-start 4th over track and trip. However, she is held on that meeting by RUBY WHISPER whose form and consistency sets the standard and deserves to be rewarded. SECRET LIFE and SPRING TIDE can earn minor money.
