Ipso Facto

J: R Munger

T: A B Fortune

Soundly beaten when fifth (this distance, here, graduation plate) over Christmas; first go in a handicap; should give it a good shot if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back

Thymetoshine

J: G Lerena

T: B Warren

Not beaten that far (just under 5l, went off 5-1) in August here over 7f; back from a break; first go at a handicap; he has a shout if replicating form of his win at Vaal last June

Eyjafjallajokull

J: D De Gouveia

T: D Nieuwenhuizen

Well beaten fifth in a handicap over C&D two months ago; has been dropped by the handicapper and this just his second run in a handicap; dropping in class but makes little appeal

Never landed a blow when seventh of nine (Turffontein Standside) last month; this only her second handicap start; others have more pressing claims

Permesso Avanti

J: C Maujean

T: J J Van Vuuren

On a lengthy losing run; responded well to first-time blinkers at Turffontein Standside when only just held (10-1) over Christmas; competing off a higher mark; trainer in good form and likely to be involved

Storm Dictator

J: S Sosibo ⁹

T: S G Tarry

Fair form when 3½l fourth in a handicap at Kenilworth running over this distance 12 months ago; first start for new trainer; back from a break; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role despite this looking a little easier than last time

Primula

J: M V'Rensburg

Not beaten that far (4l, went off 10-1, Kenilworth) six months ago; debut for new trainer; back from an absence; hard to make a case for her

It could be worth forgiving Ipso Facto a poor run last time out, and this trip could be a bit far for Permesso Avanti. However, WIND WATER is a strong pick. He is a distance winner.
