ANGEL'S OASIS needed her last run and should come on nicely. The previously Highveld-based filly can be competitive in this Class 5 Handicap. JAPURA returns from a lengthy break but has shown ability, and if not short of a run she can go close. Another rested runner, SUGARBUSH, was unlucky not to win a race against males last time. She must be included. SOVEREIGN GEM ran some fair races before her last start. She could prefer the drop in distance. TIPPERARY took an age to shed her maiden, winning at her 32nd start. However, she was consistent and could follow up in field of exposed handicappers.
