Mardi Gras

J: N Nastili ⁹

T: F P Habib

A long time since his last win but season-ticket holder here with three wins; not beaten that far (just under 5l, went off 8-1, handicap) four weeks ago (Turffontein Inside); if replicating best efforts looks interesting

Celtic Rush ¹

J: K J Lihaba ³

T: D Nieuwenhuizen

Solid career strike-rate; finished some way behind King's Express (third) and Mardi Gras (fourth) when last at Turffontein Inside (handicap) latest; this is a step down in class although faces a very stiff task

Greenbackcurrency ¹

J: S Hlengwa

T: W H Marwing

Couldn't land a blow when fifth of six (Turffontein Standside) in January when dropped back to 6f; recorded sole career win when competing on all-weather; makes handicap debut; others perhaps more persuasive

J: M K Katjedi

T: F P Habib

Has winning form at this course; finished in front of Mardi Gras and Celtic Rush (handicap) four weeks ago putting in a solid effort to finish third (Turffontein Inside); now competing off a lower mark; must go on the shortlist with lower class a plus

TYRCONNELL is a strong fancy. King's Express has winning CD form, and there is a question mark over whether Mardi Gras will be effective over this trip.
