Red Legend

J: C Zackey

T: M N Houdalakis

Stepped up on his last two starts; not beaten far last month; edging up the ratings; easy to see him making an impression despite moving up in class and there is potential to save ground from stall two.

Rastignac

J: C Habib

T: R Klaasen

Failed to finish last month when dropped in distance in a maiden plate; Calvin Habib a noteworthy booking; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and looks a contender.

Hat Trick Or Treat

J: S Khumalo

T: P P Labuschagne

Signs of improvement 16 days ago when beaten 3l into second at 25-1 in a maiden plate; best form so far in last two starts and career moving upwards; assuming he steps up from most recent effort then is a very interesting runner.

Future Knight

Could not manage better than sixth at Turffontein on first outing for new trainer two weeks ago in a maiden plate; from a top trainer; not dismissed as might do better now handicapping.

Prince Of Miracles

J: J Penny

T: F Bronkhorst

Future Knight might have a say, and Red Legend should be in the mix from a decent draw. However, HAT TRICK OR TREAT is a firm selection. He is taken to come out on top off the back of his latest effort.
