Dylan's Champ

J: P Strydom

T: F P Habib

Admirably consistent and has raised his game the last twice; beaten a neck over 1m at Vaal (maiden plate) three weeks ago; latest effort was encouraging so could go close.

Casus Belli

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

Finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (just over 3l) four weeks ago upped to 1m1f; attempting to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking (fourth his best finish so far); not hard to turn elsewhere.

Mizzen Sword

J: J Penny

T: M Khan

Six-race maiden but has managed to finish third; creditable effort to finish fourth, beaten 3l over 6f here (maiden plate) four weeks ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so hard to recommend.

J: C Maujean

T: D N Stenger

Six-race maiden but has managed to finish third; finished fifth, beaten a fair way at Vaal last month; this looks a decent race so has questions to answer.

Count Huhtikuu

J: K Matsunyane

T: B/J Crawford

Far from disgraced (beaten 5l) on his debut over C&D at 40-1 48 days ago; entitled to be better for that run.

Amanatto

J: C Habib

T: S G Tarry

Was held in third here over 6f (maiden plate) two months ago; from top trainer and seems to be going the right way; can figure.

Gerbera ¹

J: C Zackey

T: S G Tarry

From a top stable; out of the frame (beaten 4l in fourth) five weeks ago in a conditional maiden; pedigree offers room to progress and strong claims.

Gregarious

J: G Lerena

T: A P Peter

On the premises when runner-up of 13 over 5f here (maiden plate) last month; useful draw so looks a likely player.

2 Nov 24	Tur Turffontein	6f	Md	9-4	5/8	Fastnet Filly (9¼L)	16/1	-	23

Gregarious is an interesting contender from the ideal draw but GERBERA gets a firm vote. Amanatto needs to be considered, and Dylan's Champ is lining up on the back of some good runs.
