Argo Alley

J: R Danielson

T: S J Gray

Not really built on success in a handicap in January at Vaal Classic; didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Vaal Classic (beaten just under 4l at 8-1) five months ago; returns from a layoff

Midnight Gem

J: D Schwarz

T: P P Labuschagne

Finished seventh, beaten a fair way running over this distance last Thursday at Vaal Classic; all seven wins have been at around this trip but not always shown an awful lot since winning a fillies handicap at Turffontein Standside in February; others perhaps more persuasive

Silver Tudor

J: C Habib

T: S G Tarry

Has scored over course and distance; no impression when fourth over this distance (graduation plate) last month; the first won since; winner of a stakes race two starts ago and too soon to write him off; has to be respected

Sea Anemone

This looks a competitive race. Silver Tudor has winning form over course and distance while Sea Anemone is capable of better than her rather disappointing latest effort. However, it's hard to get away from COSMIC STAR who will be suited by this distance.
