Wave Warrior

J: T Godden

Finished eighth, beaten a fair distance, (this distance, Greyville, handicap) on New Year's Day; something to find with Crested Eagle (sixth) on that performance; yet to win over this distance

High Velocity

J: S Hlengwa ⁶

T: G B Puller

Narrow success in a handicap here over 6f last month (had Captains Walk back in seventh); competing off a higher rating; up in class but should be on the premises

Captains Walk

J: C F Dicken

T: K Naidoo

Held here last month by High Velocity (handicap) when 50-1 seventh of nine; competes off a lower mark; not likely to get competitive given likely stiffer task

Count Marsh

J: K De Melo

Loves this track (four course wins) and likes tight tracks; a close third (handicap) 51 days ago (over 1m here); a leading player

Gentleman's Way looks a serious threat while High Velocity has to be on the shortlist, although he could struggle to defy a hike in the weights. But COUNT MARSH has an obvious shout. He has won twice over this CD and will be suited by the tight track.
