Tsar Bomba

J: S Khumalo

T: J J Van Vuuren

Scored by just over 1l over 7f here (handicap) in June; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win); competing off a higher mark; up in class but should make a bold bid.

Black Egret

J: P Strydom

T: C Binda

Consistent performer and useful in this grade; did well from a poor draw when fifth beaten 3l 46 days ago (Greyville) in a Listed handicap race; likely to go well if backing up last run and dropping in class.

Hawkbill

J: K A Brewer

Finished last of 11 here over 1m1f (handicap) in April; has won previously at this course; returns from a layoff here; this is competitive and may have to settle for supporting role at best.
