Full Mast

J: S Khumalo

T: M/a Azzie

Finished in front of Putontheredlight and Captain Aldo (Turffontein Standside, this distance, stakes race) two weeks ago when 25-1 fourth of 12 in reapplied blinkers; knows how to win here; hard to ignore if reproducing the form of his win at Vaal last month

Putontheredlight

J: L J Ferraris

T: S G Tarry

Out of the frame beaten just over 4l (went off 23-4) over this trip (stakes race) at Turffontein Standside two weeks ago; has won here before; reunited with L J Ferraris, the pair have built a good partnership; now handicapping; needs considering

In Cahoots

J: L Hewitson

T: S G Tarry

No winning form at this distance but has won here before; solid performance to finish second at 12-1 (this distance Vaal Classic, handicap) last month; that form advertised by the first; not the biggest surprise to see him go well with drop in class a positive

Nordic Rebel

J: W Kennedy

T: E Verdonese

Creditable effort in third (beaten just over 2l) in a handicap (Vaal Classic) last month; form franked by a next-time-out winner; was an encouraging runner-up five races ago and if in the same mood holds obvious claims

Singfonico

J: J Greyling

T: C Spies

Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (3½l, handicap, Greyville Polytrack) two weeks ago; a course winner but generally modest form since handicap success at Turffontein Standside in December; may not be up to this as stamina to prove at this trip

NORDIC REBEL looks a solid choice. He has seen the form of his latest run well advertised. Putontheredlight has winning form over course and distance.
