Pacific

J: M Yeni

T: S J Gray

Split Summer Shade and The Real Deal when beaten just over 4l in fifth five weeks ago; still searching for his first win after 13 attempts but improved form the last twice; no surprise to see him go well.

Summer Shade

J: D Schwarz

T: B Webber

Has run 15 times without getting off the mark; comfortably beaten finishing sixth 21 days ago; has shown signs of promise here and there and should give it a bold bid.

The Real Deal

J: J R Syster

T: S M Naidoo

Generally struggled of late; comfortably beaten finishing seventh when close behind Summer Shade three weeks ago; others are preferred.

Kwagga Blitz

J: P Strydom

T: C Binda

Had two of these rivals behind him when beaten just under 5l in fourth at Turffontein last month; must go on the shortlist as shown some ability on occasion.

Potberrie

J: G Lerena

T: S J Gray

Winless in seven starts but has shown promise with second his top showing; finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (5l) splitting Kwagga Blitz and Rawalpindi at Turffontein last month; warrants plenty of respect.

Rawalpindi

J: T Mayhew ⁶

T: G J Maroun

Finished out the back 23 days ago upped to 7f; this now his sixth attempt to get off the mark; latest efforts leave a lot to be desired so easy enough to take on.

Espinoza

J: J Gates

T: S M Naidoo

Seemed to find life tough on his debut two months ago at Turffontein; one to consider.

Letona

J: P Mxoli

T: C Binda

Already gelded; yard not renowned for sending out winning newcomers; sire offers hope the distance might suit; question mark over whether he will need the experience and is best watched for now.

Old Fashioned

J: L Nhlapo

T: C Binda

Already gelded; shares a dam with Specially Selected, a 7f winner; one to consider as some good aspects to his profile and could be a speedy type on breeding.

Scarlet

J: V Jodhee ⁹

T: G J Maroun

Finished towards the rear of 13 dropped down to this distance 21 days ago; winless after 12 races; only female in race; others appeal more.

Espinoza is capable of better while Pacific is a credible contender. But POTBERRIE is a confident pick. He was behind Kwagga Blitz last time but can now reverse placings.
