Afraad

J: K Strydom

T: S Moffatt

Ahead of Great Affair and So Long Spring when fifth (beaten 7l) with blinkers reapplied (stakes race) running over this distance last month at Turffontein Standside; been generally quiet since successful in a stakes race at Vaal 12 months ago but has won here before; ought to be in the mix if replicating best efforts

T: T Zackey

On a losing run; finished some way behind Afraad (fifth) and Great Affair (sixth) when ninth at Turffontein Standside in a stakes race when beaten 73l running over this distance 15 days ago; a big ask

Allthewayfromusa

ABSOLUTE VALUE is worth siding with. He is a course winner and the form of his last run is working out well. However, it's a competitive looking affair; there should be plenty of market support for Allthewayfromusa, while this distance might be a bit far for Rosy Lemon and Flag Bearer.
