Guerilla Warfare

King Of Numbers

J: J Gates

Has won at this track; finished fourth but only beaten 1½l over 6f at Vaal (handicap) last month; entitled to respect from a positive draw and the handicapper has given him a chance.

Viva De Janeiro

Beaten 6l in eighth when back to this distance 26 days ago; needs to be respected based on the pick of his form and he has won off this mark before.

Call Me Master

J: G Lerena

T: R R Sage

Useful in his prime and potentially well treated; had a number of these behind him over 6f at Vaal (handicap) when on the premises, finishing third at 5-1 three weeks ago; rates a likely contender as recent performance was encouraging and post position could be a help.

Sail The Sky

J: M V'Rensburg

Last of nine over 6f at Vaal (handicap) when behind Call Me Master, King Of Numbers, and Falcon Strike three weeks ago; suited by this C&D.

Finished seventh, beaten 10l, two weeks ago; generally been out of sorts of late; makes limited appeal.

GUERILLA WARFARE rates a strong recommendation. He has won here once before and his last run caught the eye. Call Me Master lines up on the back of some good efforts while Call Me Master and King Of Numbers are well drawn and warrant respect, and King Of Numbers and Southern Style are perhaps not open to as much improvement as some of these.
