Beaten 6l over 1m at Turffontein (stakes race) last month; a long time since his last win; meeting some horses in good form and looks an unlikely winner.

Tamarisk Tree

Produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of ten, beaten 1½l) in a handicap (Turffontein) just ahead of Royal Edition last month; shown all winning form at Turffontein (three successes); cannot be ignored.

Total Surrender

J: C Zackey

T: M N Houdalakis

Good effort when 2l second 21 days ago in a handicap; brings winning C&D form to the table; he's a serious player.

Afraad

J: D Schwarz

T: P P Labuschagne

Finished out the back when close behind Flying Bull (Turffontein) 42 days ago upped to 1m5f; brings winning C&D form to the table; not really built on success in a stakes race in March at Vaal; a few rivals look in good form so easy to oppose.
