Meteoric

J: G Pieterse

All three wins around this trip; creditable effort at 16-1 in a handicap 28 days ago over C&D; raised a fair amount in the weights; ought to be competitive with lower class a plus

Tillieangus

J: J Greyling

T: B Webber

Potentially well treated on his best form but has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now; was held in ninth (handicap) 413 days ago (Vaal); has a long absence to overcome; dropping in class but hard to see him taking this

Defender Of Rights

J: R Simons

T: S T Pettigrew

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Turffontein Standside (beaten 4½l at 33-10) last month; has been dropped by the handicapper; likely to take plenty of beating despite this step up in class

Rattle Bag

J: R Munger

T: G J Maroun

Displayed a fair level of form when just over 4l second in a handicap here over 7f over Christmas; on a lengthy losing run but a course winner; this represents a step up in class but hard to ignore

Written In Stone

J: D B Geerthsen ⁶

T: B Webber

On a good mark based on best form but has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now; safely held in sixth in a handicap (Turffontein Inside) in September; has been dropped in the weights; this is a step down in class although not hard to turn elsewhere

Back To Basics

J: N Klink

A winner over course and distance; nothing to fault about his last run (just under 2l third) over C&D last Thursday with three of these rivals behind him; he can make a bold bid
