Towards the rear (sent off 4-1) over 1m here (Grade 2) four weeks ago; a proven winner with a wins-runs record of 6-22; has to be feared in this lower-class event and he won the Champions Cup recently.

Finished towards the rear of 14 in a Grade 2 last month; three wins over C&D; he has a shout; absence is no concern as has previously gone well off a break and dropping in class.

Finished 11th of 12 in July (dropped back to 6f) at Greyville in a Grade 2; four wins from 14 here; returns from a layoff; warrants respect as he has won after a similar break before and dropping in class.

Finished last of eight (Vaal) upped to 1m½f three weeks ago in a handicap; season-ticket holder here with four wins but not really built on success in a stakes race in January at Turffontein; makes limited appeal given many of his rivals are in good form.
