Red Knot

J: C Habib

T: A Ndzilana

Finished sixth but only beaten just under 2l over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap) from an unhelpful draw in June; booking of Calvin Habib takes the eye; possibilities if duplicating the form of her most recent win and she has been dropped in the weights.

Arilena

J: T Mayhew ⁶

T: L Karriem

Managed two wins in her last four outings; scored by just over 2l over 5f here (handicap) last month; been raised a little in the ratings; this represents a step up in class but is a player.

Phala Millions

J: J Greyling

T: B Webber

Not far behind Written In Stone when seventh three weeks ago, handicapper dropped him a few pounds; can be a player at this level but generally modest form since maiden plate success at Vaal in April; this represents an easier task than his previous race.

Written In Stone

J: L Nhlapo

T: B Webber

Has proven competitive in a race of this nature and smart performer at one stage; wasn't beaten that far when fourth (beaten 1½l) last month upped to 7f; now off a higher mark; competitive shout if duplicating the form of his most recent win and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

Inafix

Narrow success in a handicap last month; knows how to win here with three course wins; now competes off a higher mark; more on his plate this time but should prove competitive.

Life Goes On

J: D Schwarz

T: C Binda

Hasn't really fired since his success in a handicap at Turffontein last November and largely found things tough going of late; behind Inafix here over 5f (handicap) when beaten 8l (sixth of seven) six weeks ago.

Prized Platinum

J: C Zackey

T: C Binda

Out of the frame (beaten 4½l in tenth) over 5½f here (handicap) off higher mark five weeks ago; hasn't really fired since his success in a maiden plate at Vaal in March but can be a player at this level; Craig Zackey a notable jockey booking.

J: N Klink

Managed just one success in her career to date and struggled a bit in handicaps recently; held when seventh beaten 13l last month upped to 7f; facing a testing assignment and others more likely.

Green Sceptre

J: K Matsunyane

T: S G Tarry

Low strike-rate of 1-23 but from respected stable; ahead of Written In Stone and Miraculous Man when third (beaten just over 1l) over 7f here (handicap) last month; he should go close as latest run was an encouraging one.

Beaten 6l in ninth last month upped to 7f; not really built on success in a maiden plate in January at Fairview; this line-up contains some strong opposition so has some questions to answer.

SAMOA can prove superior to her rivals. She can improve her excellent record at this trip and her last run caught the eye. C&D winner Red Knot is respected.
