Iron Will

J: A Mgudlwa

T: A Wright

Far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) in a handicap at Scottsville two weeks ago; largely not been running well; passed over with this looking like a hot contest.

Porfirio

J: G Lerena

T: K Naidoo

Knows how to win here; favourite when runner-up last month behind Brave Voyager in a handicap; needs to be taken seriously from a positive draw and his latest effort was promising.

Brass Bell

J: K Matsunyane

T: D C Howells

Far from disgraced (beaten 2l) in a handicap last month; knows how to win here; likely to be involved if able to find the same level as his last victory and inside berth could lead to a ground-saving trip.

This is his grade but doesn't win often; fourth, beaten just over 2l by Brass Bell in a handicap posting a respectable effort in October.

Out of the frame when fifth in October in a handicap; has won four times here; shouldn't be too far away.

Phaka Imali

T: G I Rich

Behind Brave Voyager when seventh last month in a handicap; likes it here (four wins); jockey booking heightens interest; this looks a decent race so unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Brave Voyager

J: S Veale

T: D S Bosch

Likes it here (three wins); he accounted for three of these rivals when in front by just over 1l in a handicap last month; should go well.

Lake Como

T: D I Campbell

A prolific C&D winner; not disgraced when seventh of nine last month in a handicap; this looks a decent race so unlikely to trouble the principals.

PORFIRIO is the pick of these. He is pretty solid on the strength of his latest effort and can reverse last time's placings with Brave Voyager. Brave Voyager has winning form over C&D.
