Viva Brazil

J: C Zackey

A course winner; finished sixth last month albeit only beaten just under 3l in a handicap (Vaal Classic) when he was behind several of these rivals; this just his second run in a handicap; ought to give it a shot

Fifth Of July

J: D De Gouveia

T: D Nieuwenhuizen

Beaten 3½l when sixth of 13 but didn't run badly at 8-1 in a handicap three weeks ago (Vaal Classic); has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now and yet to win over this distance; easy enough to take on as faces a stiffer task

Coromandel

J: S Khumalo

T: J S Roux

Towards the rear beaten 8l in a handicap (dropped to 1m1f, Vaal Classic) last month when he was behind a few of these; all three wins going right handed and has winning form at this course; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role with this looking tougher than last time

Nuclear Force

J: C Habib

T: E Verdonese

Upped to 1m4f (handicap) in August when beaten 15l; not made much of an impact recently in handicaps and been generally quiet since successful in a maiden plate at Turffontein Standside last December; dropping in the ratings; may have to settle for supporting role as tougher task in this company

It's hard to get away from GREENLIGHT MAGIC who can confirm superiority over Romeo's Magic, Brotherhoodofmagic and Viva Brazil, who were behind him last time. However, this tight-looking race poses an interesting puzzle; Viva Brazil should appreciate this course, while the otherwise interesting Kambulu has a stamina query to answer at this trip.
