Luthuli

J: P Strydom

T: F P Habib

Knows how to win here; gained narrow success in a handicap last month upped to this trip; prospects despite having more on his plate and may be capable of overcoming hike in the ratings.

Wild Intent

J: M V'Rensburg

T: M N Houdalakis

Not disgraced when third of seven over 1m at Turffontein (handicap) two weeks ago; lightly raced (running for just the fourth time); possesses winning form at this track; the Michael Houdalakis outfit is running hot currently; plenty of appeal as some leniency shown by handicapper and shown he can get his head in front.

Futurewolff

T: H E Adamson

Not beaten too far when third here, finishing well behind reopposing Luthuli last month; recent efforts have generally been solid; a previous winner here; others appeal more.

Flamboyant Flyer

J: K A Brewer

Could not manage better than seventh over 7f at Turffontein (handicap) last month; been a while since she achieved her only career win and struggled a bit in handicaps recently; she is the only female runner.

Not disgraced when eighth over 1m1f here (handicap) six weeks ago; notable rider booked; a few rivals look in good form so others make more appeal.

Romeo's Magic

J: N Klink

T: B Warren

Held when sixth of nine last month; a course winner; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role as this is competitive.

Guy Alexander

J: K Matsunyane

T: C J Lensley

Got the job done in a handicap by half a length at Turffontein last month; a previous winner here; out to complete a hat-trick; might have a say despite moving up in class and the hike in the weights looks justified.

Black Lightning

J: J Gates

T: F P Habib

Not beaten too far when seventh here last month; has won here before; a long time since his last win; others appeal more as running in what looks to be a hot race.

Luthuli has run well previously over this C&D, and Safe Space has a good draw and is shortlisted. However, WILD INTENT is expected to get the job done. He is bidding for his second course success and has plenty of scope for improvement.
