Bob's Your Uncle

J: R Danielson

Has won here before and normally pretty consistent; not beaten too far (2½l) in a handicap at Turffontein Standside last month; needs to be respected if building on most recent effort

Prophet

J: M Yeni

T: C Spies

Wasn't beaten that far when fourth in in a handicap at Turffontein Standside 11 days ago; has not been in the winners' enclosure for a while now and no wins at this trip; should figure if building on promise shown last time

Veldskoen

J: K Matsunyane

T: B Crawford

On a long losing run; was on the premises (runner-up, beaten 1½l) in a handicap finished just ahead of Prophet at Turffontein Standside 11 days ago; down in grade; has to be taken seriously

Vegas Hi Rise ¹

J: T Mayhew ⁹

Sail The Sky

Prince Of Denmark

J: Reserve 1

T: P F Matchett

Finished eighth, beaten a fair way in a handicap in March (Fairview Polytrack); not always shown an awful lot since winning a maiden plate at Fairview Polytrack in October and recorded sole career win when competing on all-weather; first run for yard; facing a tougher assignment this time, is up against it

RAINBOW REWARD has an obvious shout. He is expected to bounce back from an excusable blip. Alabama Anna might have a say while Bob's Your Uncle is likely to have a big say, and Key News has run just once previously and should have more to offer.
