GERALD ROSENBERG STAKES (Grade 2) - TAMAANEE well weighted to win

TAMAANEE could get trainer Sean Tarry's assault on the feature race scene for today underway when he sends out the highly respected TAMAANEE to contest the Grade 2 Gerald Rosenberg Stakes. She has had three promising runs in grade 1 races behind SIREN'S CALL (twice) and MAJMU. Most of her older rivals are up in class today. She is certainly the one to beat, especially at the weights. The only concern could be the distance, but she invariably runs on over slightly shorter. At the weights she does look hard to beat and the quality and expectation is certainly there. Top jockey, S'Manga Khumalo has ridden her in all eight of her starts.

ERIN has the ability to win this race. Being a daughter of FORT WOOD, she has the credentials and she has won this C & D before and there is a hint that she is beginning to find her feet again.

SANTA CAROLINA promised so much earlier on but has yet to realise her potential at this level. Jockey Anthony Delpech has ridden her to two of her three victories for Mike De Kock. Don't rule out especially if she runs on.

The Gavin Van Zyl entry, MOHAVE PRINCESS, is better than her last effort in the Ipi Tombe. Any form return could see her earn something in this field.

Another Sean Tarry runner is AMBER ORCHID. Jockey Anton Marcus has had good success with her in her early career. At her best she will be a factor.

1st - TAMAANEE  (11); 2nd - ERIN (2); 3rd - SANTA CAROLINA (6); 4th - MOHAVE PRINCESS (3); 5th - AMBER ORCHID (7)
