Not disgraced when fifth at Turffontein Standside three months ago; has had lots of chances since last win but has won here; no surprise to see him go well on the pick of his form

Space Race

J: D B Geerthsen ⁶

T: R R Magner

Stepped up to 6½f (Fairview Polytrack) three months ago when beaten 17l (ninth of 11); is a multiple distance winner (all wins at this trip) but been generally quiet since successful in a fillies handicap at Vaal last April; makes debut for trainer; facing a tougher assignment than in December, not easy to fancy

Power Ranger

J: M Yeni

T: R R Magner

Managed only one win but has been consistent of late; not beaten far when third (this trip, Turffontein Standside, handicap) two weeks ago; useful partnership with M Yeni, who is back on board today; blinkers now left off; no surprise if he has a big say if backing up last run

Dark Tide

J: D Schwarz

T: F Bronkhorst

Nothing to fault about his last run (1½l third) in a handicap 14 days ago here over 5f when ahead of Timbavati River; slightly higher rating to contend with; drops in class and he has a shout

Bridge Of Spies

Giancarlo

J: J Penny

T: D Nieuwenhuizen

Largely disappointing since successful in a maiden plate at Turffontein Standside last May; some way behind the third, Power Ranger, in a handicap (Turffontein Standside) 12 days ago finishing 8l behind the winner; slightly higher rating to contend with; dropping in class but is up against it

Silk Garden has winning form over course and distance while there is a question mark over whether Pendragon will be effective over this trip. But POWER RANGER is top of the list. He has been running consistently well of late.
