Dontshootthebarman

J: P Strydom

T: C Binda

Scored by 1½l beating Nkandla Gold and Var Park two weeks ago; all four wins have come over this trip; now off a higher mark; warrants respect despite having more on his plate.

John Wick

T: F P Habib

Emphatic winner when accounting for two of these 29 days ago; may be involved despite this step up in class and the hike in the weights looks justified.

Var Park

Dontshootthebarman is respected albeit he is up in the weights while Dontshootthebarman, John Wick and Tchaikovsky have won over C&D. But firm preference is for ON CUE. She is expected to confirm placings after she got the better of Dontshootthebarman, Nkandla Gold and Var Park when last seen.
