Afraad

J: D Schwarz

T: P P Labuschagne

His tally of course-and-distance wins stands at five but not really built on success in a stakes race in March at Vaal; failed to complete over 1m2f here (stakes race) 40 days ago; others appeal more.

Mambo Come Tesio

J: M Yeni

T: M F De Kock

Held when fourth beaten 7l at Turffontein 17 days ago in a stakes race; from respected trainer and a winner on three occasions from 1m1f to 1m5f; shown signs of promise here and there and has a great chance.

Not disgraced when fifth in a stakes race six weeks ago upped to 1m2f; form has been a bit mixed lately; likes this combination of C&D.

To The Rescue

J: K Matsunyane

T: S G Tarry

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4½l) over 1m½f (handicap) 19 days ago; this is his grade but struggled a bit in handicaps recently.

Fushimi Inari

J: G Lerena

T: S T Pettigrew

Not beaten too far when fifth of six over 1m2f here (handicap) 42 days ago; has won here; should not be far away as might be able to capitalise on his reduced mark and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Master Tik Tok

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

Has won at this course; beaten 6l into fifth over 1m2f at Turffontein (handicap) 31 days ago; is of interest given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and shown he can get his head in front.

MAMBO COME TESIO is expected to get the job done. This distance might be a bit far for Master Tik Tok and Douglas Dragon, and Fushimi Inari needs to be taken seriously.
