Little Prince

J: D Schwarz

Rosy Lemon

J: R Fourie

T: F Bronkhorst

Won a fillies handicap by just under 3l 14 days ago upped to this distance (Turffontein Inside), form which has been advertised since; handicapper applies the brakes; she is the only female runner; more on her plate this time but looks interesting

Monsieur Chevelle

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

40-1 chance when finishing eighth of nine in a handicap 12 days ago (Turffontein Standside); has won previously at this course but been generally quiet since successful in a handicap at Vaal Classic last December; been eased in the ratings by the handicapper; this is a step down in class although unlikely to do better than a supporting role

Beaten a fair way when seventh in a handicap (Turffontein Standside) upped to 1m4f 12 days ago; just the one win to his name; lower mark this time; down in class this time but others appeal more

Nuclear Force

J: S Sosibo ³

T: E Verdonese

Not made much of an impact recently in handicaps and not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden plate at Turffontein Standside last December; stepped up to 1m4f in a handicap in August at Vaal finishing 15l behind the winner; handicapper has eased the burden; facing a tougher assignment than in August, looks an unlikely winner

This is a tight one to call but KAMBULU can prove superior. He has won at this track and has plenty of scope for improvement. Romeo's Magic will not be without market support, this trip could be a bit far for Little Prince, and Rosy Lemon has been hiked up the weights which tempers enthusiasm.
