Funky Music

J: T Mayhew ⁹

T: P F Matchett

Winner of three races at this venue; not beaten too far at 5-1 when fifth of eight in a handicap (Turffontein Inside) 51 days ago just over 4l behind Fort Lauderdale; this demands more than last time so hard enough to fancy

Laughing William

Could not manage better than fifth at Turffontein Inside on first run for this trainer last month; form given substance by next-time-out winner; makes handicap debut; unlikely to trouble the principals

Nordic Rebel ¹

J: S Sosibo ³

On a lengthy losing run and hardly a model of consistency; well beaten when ninth in a handicap in September over C&D; dropping in the ratings; this demands more than last time so looks opposable

Run For Cover

MO THE MAN gets the vote. He has acquitted himself well at this distance in the past. Captain Of Grit will not be without market support while this distance may be a bit longer than Fort Lauderdale wants, and Free Movement should put up plenty of resistance.
