Remains Of The Day
J: G Dookhit 9
T: P F Matchett
Beaten 7l in eighth over 5½f here (handicap) last month; appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs and he can be competitive at this level; just second start in this company; likely to be thereabouts if excused most recent run as achieved maiden plate success two runs back and shown he can get his head in front.

Bregardt
J: C Maujean

Turned in a solid effort in defeat two weeks ago, when third at Turffontein with two of these rivals behind; poor strike-rate; rates a likely contender as recent effort was encouraging and he's been given a chance by the handicapper.

Verdict

Smashing has won over C&D, and Dancing Dora competes off the back of some good runs. However, SAMOA is expected to get the job done. She makes plenty of appeal on the strength of a good latest effort.
