In the fillies and mares MR 99 handicap over 1500m Warning Sound makes appeal for the Sean Tarry yard. She had her seasonal reappearance last time over 1600m at the Vaal Classic track and after being dropped out to last from a wide draw she was making good late progress. She is now drawn well in two and should have come on from that run so could launch her finish from a striking position.

Women's World

Another horse who caught the eye running on in her last start was the James Crawford-trained Women's World. She managed a 4,85 length fourth to Twostep Queen over 1450m after being dropped out from a wide draw but would have got closer if not hampered late.

That was also her seasonal reappearance and was in fact her first run on the Highveld for the Crawford yard having relocated from the East Cape. She will appreciate the step up by 50m and should be running on late again after being dropped out from another wide draw. Twostep Queen won that race at Turffontein Inside by 3,25 lengths but was raised seven points so will find it tough running off a seven point higher mark. The four-year-old Potala Palace filly could still progress but this mark is six points higher than she has ever raced off so it won't be easy, although she has a fair draw of three.
