Has winning form at this track; largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Greyville in April; last of five over 1m here (handicap) three weeks ago; passed over.

Third of eight when sent off 40-1 over 1m2f here (handicap) three weeks ago; not so good in blinkers last two starts; can make his presence felt given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and he is running off a lower mark.

Unable to land a blow when fifth of nine four weeks ago at Turffontein upped to 1m2f; has won here before; grade looks suitable; return to this trip is a plus; in with a chance.

Looking for the fourth success of his career; respectable effort (beaten 3l) at Turffontein over 7f (handicap) two weeks ago; one to be interested in if able to run to the same level as his last win and the handicapper has given him a chance.

Gained a just under 2l success over 1m2f at Turffontein (maiden plate) 12 days ago to break his duck; has been running well here recently; trainer is ticking along nicely; recent form is thin on the ground in this contest so one to watch out for.

Verdict

AMERICAN REBEL has an obvious shout. Thambi is capable of running into at least a place, and Safe Space should be on the shortlist.
