Gamer

J: R Danielson

T: S J Gray

Respectable effort in defeat (beaten just over 2l, split Dylan's Champ and American Eagle) last month; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 22 and proving a little expensive to follow.

Hat Furious

J: M V'Rensburg

T: E Verdonese

Beaten 14l into sixth last month upped to 1m2f; generally struggled of late and winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 11; others more persuasive as this is competitive.

Beynac

J: K Matsunyane

T: B/J Crawford

Career moving upwards; couldn't quite get the job done when 100-30 second over 7f at Turffontein (maiden plate) last month; hard to ignore.

Has shown some recent improvement; just touched off two weeks ago with two of these rivals behind; recent effort was creditable so one to be interested in.

Pyro Edition

J: C Zackey

T: C J Lensley

Still looking to open his account after three runs; finished behind Hat Furious here over 1m2f (maiden plate) when beaten 17l 21 days ago; booking of Craig Zackey takes the eye; has claims.

Asiah's Tiara

J: T Mayhew ³

T: C Mayhew

Creditable effort to finish runner-up at Turffontein last month; career moving upwards; she is the only female runner; has to be considered.

3 Oct 24	Vaa Vaal	7f	Md	9-2	3/8	Greenhouse (2¼L)	66/1	-	-

Beynac looks a decent option but PIONEER SQUARE looks the one to back. Asiah's Tiara looks a big threat, and Pyro Edition could be undone by the draw.
