Fat Cigar

J: K Strydom ⁶

Sprang 22-1 surprise over this distance (maiden plate) six weeks ago when getting off the mark (Scottsville), the second and sixth boosted the form since; he's an attractive contender

Land Of Mystery

J: S Veale

T: D R Drier

Has won here before but managed only one win; 11th beaten 9l in a handicap here when dropped back to 7f latest; something to find with Justfortheepenny (fourth) on that performance; unlikely to trouble the principals

Rain Dance

J: J L Samuel

Caesura

J: L Hewitson

Has strung together a series of consistent efforts and looks well treated on the pick of his form; solid effort when beaten 3l to finish third (handicap) two months ago (over 7f here); leading contender

Justfortheepenny

J: M Yeni

T: N Kotzen

Just the one win to his name; not beaten too far at 7-2 when fourth of 12 in a handicap latest here (7f), next-time-out winners Gentleman's Way and Burning Wings boosted the form since; has struck up a good partnership with this rider, who is back on board; lower mark this time; should not be far away

CAESURA is the pick of these. He usually runs a solid race. Origami is likely to be popular with punters while there is a question mark over whether Hatton Hall will be effective over this trip, and Fat Cigar may give the others plenty to think about.
