Track has proven suitable before; respectable display to finish fifth, beaten just under 2l over 7f at Turffontein (handicap) last month; needs to be taken seriously as a winner off a similar mark and he has a good draw.

Likes it here (seven wins) but recent form nothing to write home about; towards the rear of 13 here over 7½f (handicap) 49 days ago; easy to oppose.

Ran encouragingly when just under 3l third over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap) last month; achieved just the one win; he shouldn't be far away as recent form is thin on the ground in this contest and his last run was encouraging.

Verdict

American Biscuit has generally been running well, and Thambi could have a say. However, LUTHULI is hard to look beyond. He has got a win to his name and is proven at the trip.
