The Octagon

J: G Lerena

T: A G Laird

Has kicked on in his last couple of races and admirably consistent; good effort when just over 2l third at Greyville last month; strong contender as recent performance was encouraging.

Cliffie Clavin

J: M V'Rensburg

T: M N Houdalakis

Could not manage better than fourth over 7½f here (maiden plate) two weeks ago; some promise; closest he has come to winning after three starts was a third; trainer is ticking along nicely; must be respected.

Obsidian

J: K Matsunyane

T: J J Van Vuuren

Held fifth of six but was making his first appearance over 6f at 25-1 in July; some appeal on breeding and should go well.

Obsidian has potential to improve, and Jabberwocky is capable of getting involved. However, THE OCTAGON is a strong fancy. He has been running to a consistent level lately and ran with credit last time.
