American Biscuit

J: K A Brewer

T: T Zackey

Nothing to fault about his last run (1½l runner-up) in a handicap over C&D three weeks ago; on a losing run but has winning course-and-distance form to his name; off a higher mark; down in class and must be considered

Dj Junior

J: M K Katjedi

T: E Verdonese

Not had much racing; ran well from a poor draw over this distance (maiden plate, Vaal) last November when running out an easy winner, opening his account; first go in a handicap but interesting to see how he goes in the betting as returning from a long absence

Hydrangea

Only career win was on all-weather; finished last of six (Turffontein Inside) when dropped down to 5f on first run for this trainer two weeks ago; she takes on the boys here; hard to entertain

The verdict goes to WE ARE THE LOGANS who is excused a last-run blip and must have every chance over a distance that suits. However, there is not much between these on figures; American Biscuit has winning form over course and distance, while this distance may be a bit longer than Courageous Cat wants.
