Dyce ¹

J: P Strydom

T: M N Houdalakis

Has won here previously; managed three wins in his last seven outings; had two of these in arrears at Turffontein over 5f (stakes race) when getting the job done by less than a length last month; last time's run after break should have restored condition and strong claims.

Quantum Theory

J: G Lerena

T: R R Sage

Beaten 6l (sixth, Turffontein) separating re-opposing rivals Cliff Hanger and Halberdier in a similar race four weeks ago in a Listed race; he meets the required standard ability wise; ought to give it a shot if replicating the best of his form and down in grade.

Troppo Veloce

J: M Yeni

T: S G Tarry

Unbeaten at this course after three runs; represents a powerful stable; not beaten too far (2½l) when behind the reopposing Quantum Theory at Turffontein over 6f (stakes race) 52 days ago; she is the only filly here; rates a likely contender based on the pick of her form - goes well fresh.

Finished fourth beaten 2½l over 6f at Turffontein (stakes race) in July; a while since his last success; others appeal more in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Halberdier

J: P Mxoli

Came home sixth last month in race won by Dyce over 5f (stakes race) at Turffontein; has won at this course; others appeal more with a few rivals in good form.

Quantum Theory could have a say while Cliff Hanger is potentially a big threat. But DYCE has to be the first name on the shortlist. He is expected to confirm placings after he got the better of Halberdier and Sheldon when last seen and sets the form standard based on his most recent effort.
