J: M Yeni

Beaten 3½l when third of five but didn't run badly at 14-1 latest (over 6f here); makes handicap debut; won at Turffontein Standside 399 days ago and he's an attractive contender

Toffas

Close second sent off 9-4 in a handicap (over 7f here) last month; the first boosted the form; a rise in the ratings to contend with; competitive shout

The Chosen One

No impression when ninth in a handicap (over this distance, Turffontein Standside) on Tuesday; might find this company a little easier but looks risky

Came home fourth, beaten 5l, in a handicap here (7f) last month; form boosted with the first winning since; been eased in the ratings by the assessor; should go close

Rosy Lemon

J: K A Brewer

Not disgraced in fourth at 33-1 in a handicap over Christmas (Turffontein Standside); this only her second handicap outing; hard enough to fancy despite this looking a little easier than last time

Has won previously at this course; stepped up to 1m1f in a handicap at Turffontein Standside where just ahead of Rosy Lemon over Christmas when 4l third; needs considering with drop in class a positive

Quite a competitive heat - the otherwise interesting Futurewolff has a stamina query to answer at this trip while Thunderstone isn't out of it. However, this can go to TOFFAS who has seen the form of his latest run well advertised.
