Sixth beaten 9l over 1m2f at Turffontein (handicap) in May, dropped in the weights since; he can be competitive at this level; returns from a break today; needs to be respected despite defeats on last two starts as he scored three runs back and down in class.

Left backers at 10-11 frustrated when sixth over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap, not far behind Red Legend) disappointing from a good draw 19 days ago; notable rider booked; should be thereabouts as has more than one win to his name and he has been dropped in the weights.

Has gained five wins over course and distance and potentially on a good mark; behind Vava Vegas here over 1m½f (handicap) when beaten just under 5l in fifth last month; this looks a fair heat so easy to oppose.

Could not manage better than fifth over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap) three weeks ago; form of the trainer is a plus; by no means ruled out if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and he should benefit from return to this trip.

Potentially well treated; ran well when beaten half a length (Turffontein) two weeks ago upped to 7f; slightly higher rating to contend with; latest effort was encouraging so he needs to be taken seriously.

Came home sixth, beaten 6l, over 1m2f here (handicap) in September; likely player with drop back in trip looking the right move and shown he can win fairly recently.

Largely disappointing since successful in a maiden at Vaal in July; fair effort when beaten 4½l, finishing seventh of nine at Turffontein over 6f (handicap) 14 days ago; she takes on the boys here; a lot on her plate here and one to tread carefully with.
