Luthuli

J: J Botes ⁹

T: F P Habib

Has won at this course; beaten just under 2l last month when sent off 66-1 over 7f (handicap) at Turffontein; big run on the cards as now running off a lower mark and has proved he knows how to win.

Stormy Winter

J: B Plaatjies ⁶

T: D Nieuwenhuizen

Potentially well treated on his best form but recent form is unremarkable; towards the rear of 13 over 7½f here (handicap) 49 days ago; makes limited appeal.

Thambi

J: T Mayhew ⁶

T: L Karriem

Not disgraced when seventh over 1m1f here (handicap) last month; not ruled out if reproducing the form of his most recent success and he's won off this mark in the last 12 months.

American Biscuit

J: M Mbuto ⁹

T: W C Marwing

Ran encouragingly when just under 3l third over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap) last month; has a record of 1-22; must be high on list with so many of these having something to prove and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just over 3l) over 1m1f (handicap) last month; easy to oppose.

Vava Vegas

J: G Samo-Burthia ⁹

T: J Borman

Possesses winning form at this track; not beaten too far when ninth of ten over 6f here (handicap) last month; a rise in the ratings to contend with.

American Biscuit has been knocking on the door of late while Thambi is one to consider. But LUTHULI is a strong fancy. He will be hard to ignore over his favourite trip and has a favourable draw in stall one.
