Solace

J: R Danielson

Has won previously at this course; upped to 7½f (handicap) five weeks ago at Turffontein Inside when last of seven; runs for only the second time in a handicap; drops in class; must be considered

Bella Black

J: S Khumalo

T: P F Matchett

Respectable effort to finish fourth ten days ago at Turffontein Standside; was a close fourth here last month; poses a threat if replicating form of her win at Turffontein Standside over Christmas

Inherit The Rain

J: C Murray

T: M F De Kock

Not beaten that far (3½l, went off 14-1) in a handicap latest (Vaal Classic); has won previously at this course; unexposed in handicaps with this his second start in this company; warrants plenty of respect now dropping in class

Informative

J: M Yeni

You have to go back a long way to find his only win; not disgraced when fourth (Turffontein Standside) two weeks ago; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and should not be ruled out

Lets Talk

J: J Solomons ⁶

T: S J Gray

Largely disappointing since successful in a maiden plate at Turffontein Inside five months ago; found life tough when 7l back in tenth over C&D on Thursday when first-time blinkers didn't help; blinkers now left off; others are preferred

Corvette Captain

J: C Maujean

T: J J Van Vuuren

A course winner; ahead of Tiki Taka and Inherit The Rain when fourth (beaten 2½l, this distance Vaal Classic, handicap) when not beaten too far 21 days ago; should be in the mix if in the same mood as when third six races back

Tai Gold

J: J Penny

T: C Spies

Not really built on success in a maiden juvenile plate in July at Scottsville; comfortably beaten finishing sixth (handicap, over 1m here) over Christmas; blinkers worn last time removed; others appeal more despite dropping in class

Tiki Taka

J: J Gates

T: E Verdonese

Beaten just over 3l when sixth of 11 but didn't run badly at 30-1 (handicap) over this trip at Vaal Classic three weeks ago; handicapper easing the burden; unlikely to trouble the principals despite dropping in class
