Banha Bridge

J: R Danielson

T: C Dawson

Impressive record of three wins from ten runs here; unable to land a blow when eighth of nine in a handicap (Vaal) 28 days ago; dropping in the weights; others perhaps more persuasive

Battleofbarberton

J: P Strydom

T: M/a Azzie

Upped to 1m5f (Turffontein Inside) three months ago when beaten just under 2l to finish runner-up in what looked an up-to-scratch handicap; edging up the ratings but just second start in this company; likely to be involved despite having more on his plate

Diesel's Shadow

J: G Lerena

T: E Verdonese

Narrow verdict by three-quarters of a length when he had Romeo's Magic behind two weeks ago here (1m1f) in what looked a strong handicap; now off a higher mark; has to be taken seriously

J: M V'Rensburg

T: D Nieuwenhuizen

Successful by 2l in a handicap last month at Turffontein Standside, the third franked form since; was a close fourth here six weeks ago but yet to win over 1m2f; raised a fair amount in the weights

Romeo's Magic

J: N Klink

T: B Warren

Has won here before; finished fourth beaten 2l in a handicap (over 1m1f here) last month, behind the reopposing Diesel's Shadow; looks vulnerable

DIESEL'S SHADOW is the most likely winner here. He bids for a second course success and is expected to confirm authority with Romeo's Magic after they met last month. However, this is a tight race on the figures; Battleofbarberton may have his stamina stretched over this trip, while Tax Haven is respected.
