Surjay

J: K Matsunyane

T: B/J Crawford

Has a good C&D record (four wins from seven runs); not disgraced in fifth over 1m here (Grade 2) 15 days ago; interesting if showing his peak form and he reverts to a trip sure to suit.

Celtic Rumours

J: C Habib

T: S G Tarry

Was held in 11th at Turffontein over 1m (Grade 2) last month; has managed five wins from 16 career runs; jockey booking is a positive; should go close based on the pick of her form - goes well fresh.

Beaten into third when 5-2 over 7f at Durbanville (Grade 3) three months ago (had two of these rivals behind); wins achieved at a lower level but running consistently; should prove competitive if building on most recent effort and he can handle the step up in class.

Successful four times from 14 career runs but wins achieved at a lower level; found life tough when 8l back in eighth 43 days ago in a Listed race; makes limited appeal as this is a tougher test.
