Under The Rainbow

J: J Gates

T: B Webber

Finished tailed off dropped back in distance last Thursday, behind Big Boy Bruce; has kicked on in his last couple of races but yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at eight; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.

Brightest Blaze

J: L Nhlapo

T: B Webber

Yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 11 and he has struggled to find his best form recently; could not manage better than ninth here over 7f (maiden plate) 14 days ago; others are preferred.

Zyakala

J: D Schwarz

Trainer capable of preparing a newcomer to win; sire capable of producing high class offspring; already gelded; definitely of interest as some good aspects to his profile and the trainer is in good nick.

Potberrie

J: M Yeni

T: S J Gray

Second favourite but unable to make the frame when sixth over 5f here (maiden plate) three weeks ago; should be thereabouts given that not many of these impressed last time out and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Pursuit Of Fame

J: P Strydom

T: J A Visser

Encouraging effort when runner-up over 5f here (maiden plate) two weeks ago; likely to be involved as recent form is thin on the ground in this contest and his last run was encouraging.

Green Sapphire

J: C Zackey

T: S G Tarry

From a respected yard; finished second when evens five months ago at Turffontein in a maiden juvenile plate; returning from a layoff here; she is the only female runner; strong contender as appeals from a breeding angle.

Pursuit Of Fame has posted some good efforts of late but GREEN SAPPHIRE rates a strong recommendation. Can You Danse looks the pick of the newcomers, and Potberrie needs to be taken seriously.
