Dreamland

J: C Zackey

T: M N Houdalakis

Finished last of ten at Turffontein last month in a Listed handicap race; admirable career strike-rate (five from 17 to date); now down in class and should give it a shot.

One Fell Swoop

J: G Lerena

Finished towards the rear of 16 in a Grade 3 sporting first-time blinkers at Turffontein last month; a course winner; in with a big shout with lower class a definite positive and is proven at a decent level.

King Of Venus

J: C Habib

T: S G Tarry

Good effort when close up over 5f at Turffontein (handicap) 36 days ago; this C&D holds no fears; from powerful trainer.

Midnight Gem

J: J Gates

Brings plenty of winning course form to the table but hasn't won for a while; decent effort when 33-1 third over 6f at Turffontein (handicap) two weeks ago.

Nkandla Gold ¹

J: M K Katjedi

T: B Webber

Last of seven over 5f here (handicap, behind Swing Upon A Star) two weeks ago; all three wins registered here but a while since his last success; others appeal more as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Tchaikovsky

J: J Penny

Has winning track form; not far behind Smith And Wesson when seventh in a handicap two weeks ago; facing a testing assignment and one to tread carefully with.

Smith And Wesson

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

Has won here; held in fourth just ahead of Tchaikovsky 16 days ago in a handicap; this looks a fair heat so one to tread carefully with.

Swing Upon A Star should be looked at while Passage Of Power is one to be interested in. But ONE FELL SWOOP is the pick of these. She is a distance winner.
