Royal Edition

J: P Mxoli

T: P P Labuschagne

Did well to finish third from a poor draw in a handicap (Turffontein Inside) last month; hasn't won for a while but has winning form at this course; if stepping up from most recent effort needs considering

Quatermain

J: K Matsunyane

T: R Klaasen

In good form before possible blip last time and this trip evidently suits with all three wins over this distance; finished towards the rear of 13 (sent off 7-2) running over this trip at Kenilworth three months ago; makes debut for trainer; could improve now handicapping; could be an uphill struggle

Circle Of Grace ¹

J: M V'Rensburg

T: C Spies

Finished eighth, beaten a fair way in a handicap last month here; largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Greyville Polytrack five months ago; competes off a lower mark; easy enough to take on

Black Lightning

J: S Khumalo

T: F P Habib

Not beaten that far (just under 4l, went off 33-1) in a handicap at Turffontein Standside 33 days ago, chasing home a next-time-out winner; not really built on success in a handicap 12 months ago at Turffontein Inside but has won here; dropping in the weights; productive partnership with S Khumalo, who retakes the mount

Archimides

This looks like a trappy affair. Chestnut Bomber will attract market support while Gimmeachoice looks a big threat, but ROYAL EDITION is up to landing this. He bids for a second course success.
