Puerto Manzano

J: T Mayhew ⁶

T: J J Van Vuuren

Finished behind Mercantour over 7f here (stakes race) dropped back in distance when beaten 11l (fifth of six) last month; has an impressive C&D record (three wins from ten runs) but quite a while since he tasted success.

Future Pearl

J: C Zackey

T: S G Tarry

Well held having been fancied when seventh in a Grade 3 (Greyville) in July upped to 2m; from a top trainer and admirable career strike-rate (six from 21 to date); he shouldn't be far away if replicating his best form and dropping in class.

Litigation

J: S Moodley

T: S G Tarry

Well beaten in the Grade 1 Premier's Champions Challenge when separating a number of reopposing rivals in April; has managed eight wins from 31 career runs and represents a powerful trainer; returns from a layoff; might find this easier.

Frances Ethel

J: K Matsunyane

T: B Crawford

Has won four of her six career runs; was a shade disappointing when fourth (2-1, Greyville) five months ago in a Grade 1; returning from a layoff here; interesting from ground-saving starting berth and down in class.

Silver Sanctuary

J: M Yeni

T: M F De Kock

Proven that she knows how to get her head in front (seeking a fifth win) and from a respected stable; respectable ninth in the Garden Province Stakes when dropped to this distance at Greyville three months ago; she shouldn't be far away if replicating her best form and down in grade.

Aragosta

J: N Nastili ⁶

T: M F De Kock

Behind Future Pearl when towards the rear of 15 in a Grade 3 in July at Greyville upped to 2m; course specialist who has won four times here and from top stable; should go close with return to this trip a plus and he was placed in the Premier's Champions Challenge.

Atticus Finch

J: C Habib

Beating Wings

J: D De Gouveia

T: S T Pettigrew

Held in fifth over 1m2f at Greyville (Grade 2) in July; season-ticket holder here with three wins; should give it a bold bid based on the pick of her form and lower class is a plus.

Safe Passage

J: M K Katjedi

T: M F De Kock

Finished towards the rear of 14 at Greyville over 1m1½f (Grade 2) in May; represents top trainer and has an impressive C&D record (three wins from nine runs); this might be easier.

Johnny Hero

J: P Mxoli

T: T Zackey

Was eighth of 12, beaten 10l, over 7f here (stakes race) in March; multiple course winner; returning from a layoff here; will need the breaks from poor draw and others make more appeal.

Mercantour

J: J Penny

T: S T Pettigrew

Produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of six, beaten 2l) here over 7f (stakes race) last month; recent form has a decent look to it; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win 18 months ago).

River Romeo

J: N Klink

T: L Karriem

A while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win last September) and recent form is unremarkable; tailed off in June when dropped back to this trip in a handicap; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as record when fresh is not entirely persuasive.

WINCHESTER MANSION rates a strong recommendation. He has shown in the past that he is able to get the job done and this is a step down from the Durban July. Frances Ethel is an interesting contender with an ideal draw while the poor draw tempers enthusiasm for Silver Sanctuary, and Future Pearl, Silver Sanctuary and Frances Ethel have won over C&D.
