Guy Alexander

J: K Matsunyane

T: C J Lensley

Got the job done by 1l here over 1m1f (handicap) last month; has winning C&D form to his name; been in excellent nick recently; now off a higher mark; should be thereabouts despite being up in class.

Towers Of Gold

J: C Zackey

T: P F Matchett

Comfortably beaten into third at Turffontein last Tuesday in a graduation plate; showing consistent form; encouraging jockey booking; a major contender if replicating the best of his form.

Whispers Of War

J: T Mayhew ³

T: C Spies

Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; looks well treated on the pick of his form; respectable effort finishing fourth (beaten 3l) at Turffontein 51 days ago upped to 1m1f; hard to dismiss with him operating off a reduced mark and his last run was encouraging.

Ryan's Dream

J: R Danielson

T: M/a Azzie

Achieved just the one win; not disgraced when fourth over 1m1f at Turffontein (handicap) in April; returning from a layoff here; should go close as has been given a chance by the handicapper and has shown some ability on occasion.

Japanese Maple

J: L Nhlapo

T: W C Marwing

Last of nine over 1m½f here (handicap) off higher mark last month; not made much of an impact recently in handicaps; dropping in class but unlikely to trouble the principals.

Whispers Of War is capable of having a say, and Ryan's Dream isn't out of it. However, TOWERS OF GOLD gets a firm vote. He usually runs a solid race and has proved he can get his head in front.
