Cliffhanger

T: J J Van Vuuren

A prolific winner during his career; beaten 5l into fifth in a stakes race (Turffontein Inside) latest stepped up to 7f; two next-time-out winners advertised the form; was an encouraging second five races ago and if in the same mood warrants consideration

It's hard to confidently rule out many of these but preference is for LUCKY LAD who has an excellent course record. Cliffhanger should be in the mix despite a bad run last time, Silent War is taken to mount a serious challenge, and Power Broker isn't out of it.
