Eiffel Tower

J: M Yeni

T: S J Gray

Held at Vaal latest by Master Christmas (handicap) running over this distance when unable to land a blow in seventh; good career strike-rate but not really built on success in a handicap in November at Turffontein Standside; hard enough to fancy

House Of Romanov

Not really built on success in a handicap last October at Turffontein Inside; couldn't land a blow when sixth of seven in a handicap latest (Turffontein Standside); this represents a step up in class so one to tread carefully with

This has the look of a wide-open race but preference is for MASTER CHRISTMAS who has won here twice before and is expected to confirm authority with Eiffel Tower after they met 37 days ago. Presley is likely to be popular in the betting, Moola Man has to be on the shortlist, although he could struggle to defy a hike in the weights, and Total Surrender could have a say.
