Opening Gambit

J: S Khumalo

Private Ruler

J: M Yeni

The principals look evenly matched but the selection is PLUM FIELD. Bitter Wind is in with a shout, but does need to be forgiven a poor run last time, and Private Ruler and Bartholomeus are interesting runners who are not in the habit of winning.
