G1 – 1800m – Turf

1 Reet Petite Suffered her first defeat at start four when running second in the G1 Cape Fillies Guineas (1600m) last start. Gets the chance to atone here and looks hard to beat.
2 Keukenhof Another coming out of the G1 Cape Fillies Guineas (1600m), finishing eighth, this filly looks set to enjoy the step out to 1800m. Has saluted once from eight starts and will need to improve to be truly competitive at this level.
3 Give Me Everything Went on a winning spree early in 2025, reeling off four consecutive victories, before struggling to make an impact in five subsequent starts in stronger company. Does have form behind Double Grand Slam, who chases back-to-back victories in this contest.
4 Rainbow Lorikeet Saluted three starts back to notch a seventh career success from 24 starts. Also comes out of that Double Grand Slam race, finishing fourth of five and one spot ahead of Give Me Everything, and was a last-start second behind the reopposing Sukhumvit. Was fourth in this race last year.
5 Double Grand Slam Won this race in fine style 12 months ago and hasn’t done a lot wrong since, posting two wins and a second from four subsequent starts. Pocketed another G1 victory in July’s Garden Province Stakes (1600m) and is the horse to beat.
6 Minogue Steps out at Kenilworth for the first time in a rich vein of form after two wins and a close second at Turffontein from her past three starts. Is up in class and trip and will need to improve to be competitive.
7 Sukhumvit Finished 2025 in eye-catching form, stringing together a second, a third and a last-start course-and-distance victory over Rainbow Lorikeet, who is among the chances here. Should be around the mark.
8 Wish List Lightly-raced three-year-old has placed in all but one of her six starts, with her sole victory coming at Kenilworth. Ran third in the G1 Cape Fillies Guineas (1600m) last start, not far adrift of the highly fancied Reet Petite in second.
9 Little Suzie Ran eighth in this race last year before saluting at G2 level in May. Her more recent form includes a second to Rainbow Lorikeet and a sixth behind Sukhumvit, both of whom she meets again here.
10 Red Palace Disappointed when running last in that Sukhumvit race last start but was second in this contest last year after running fourth in 2024 and she cannot be discounted. Was much better when third two starts back.
