J: S Khumalo

Has won here in the past and admirably consistent; respectable effort (beaten 2l) in a handicap (Greyville Polytrack) latest; that form has substance (produced two next-time-out winners); down in class this time but looks opposable

J: K Matsunyane

Healthy career strike-rate; far from disgraced (beaten just over 2l) in a handicap (at Scottsville over this distance) latest; competes off a lower mark; useful partnership with this jockey, back together here; with more on his plate only limited appeal

Verdict

COVERT OPERATOR sets the benchmark. He is a distance winner. However, this looks a competitive race; Purple Operator looks a serious threat, while Gimme A Rainbow and Slim Jannie are likely to be in contention.
