Respectable display to finish fourth, beaten just under 3l (Turffontein) 47 days ago in a stakes race; all his winning form has come at Turffontein (two successes); not ruled out as shown he can get his head in front and drawn to save ground.

Has been fairly consistent this year and impressive record of three wins from seven runs here; creditable effort behind Royal Edition here over 1m2f (stakes race) last month; should have every chance.

Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap, close behind Celtic Rush) last month; has won previously at this course; this only his second start in handicap company; hard enough to fancy as this could be a hot race.

Bagged a hat-trick last time; came out on top by just over 1l over 1m2f here (handicap) last month; slightly higher rating to contend with; more on his plate this time but is of interest.

Not beaten too far when fourth of five over 7f here (handicap) 16 days ago; form lately has been a mixed bag and been a while since he achieved his only career win; a few rivals look in good form so is passed over.

Was held in fifth over 1m at Turffontein (handicap) four weeks ago; track has proven suitable before; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last September); this line-up contains some strong opposition so others appeal more.

Verdict

Pocket Watch is an interesting contender from the ideal draw while Moola Man might have a say. But TOTAL SURRENDER is hard to look beyond. He is likely to run his race and can reverse last time's placings with Royal Edition.
