Son Of Raj

J: G Lerena

T: A P Peter

Towards the rear of 15 (Greyville) in July upped to 2m in a Grade 3; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fifth career win); returns from a break today; leading claims with draw a positive and dropping in class.

A winner over this C&D; landed a narrow success in a (draw was no help) at Turffontein when dropped to this trip seeing off three of these rivals last month; should be in the mix.

Red Maple

J: S Moodley

T: S G Tarry

Likes this combination of C&D; from top yard; respectable effort to finish fifth, beaten just under 3l when behind the reopposing Good Council at Turffontein 21 days ago upped to this trip in a; she is the only mare here; has won in classy company before and no surprise to see her go well.

Not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in 2022); found life tough when 7l back in fifth at Turffontein over 2m (conditions race) last month; hard enough to fancy.

A C&D winner; a few throw outs since his success in a stakes race at Vaal in March; finished just behind Royal Edition when seventh at Turffontein dropped down to this distance last month; makes limited appeal.
