Banha Bridge

J: T Mayhew ³

T: C Dawson

Has won seven times from 7f to 1m4f; close up runner-up; closely matched with To The Rescue on that running last month; now competes off a higher mark; can be in the mix if replicating most recent run.

Weather Wizard

J: C Maujean

T: F Bronkhorst

Slumped a bit since winning a handicap at Turffontein last May; could not manage better than seventh at Vaal over 1m (handicap) last month; this is competitive and can be taken on.

Afraad

J: D Schwarz

T: P P Labuschagne

Nine-time winner within the resume (from 1m1f-1m5f) but slumped a bit since winning a stakes race at Vaal last March; last of seven at Vaal over 1m2f (stakes race) two weeks ago; this looks a fair heat so easy to oppose.

Douglas Dragon

J: J Penny

T: M Khan

Missed out by a head over 1m2f here (handicap) when dropped in distance finished just ahead of Arlington Action last month; successful twice in his last five starts; edging up the ratings; has to be respected.

Arlington Action

J: P Mxoli

T: T Zackey

Winner of four races at this venue; third, not beaten that far (14-1) here over 1m2f (handicap) dropped back in distance 30 days ago when just behind Douglas Dragon; strong claims.

To The Rescue

J: K Matsunyane

T: S G Tarry

From top stable and can be a player at this level; not far behind Banha Bridge when fourth last month; knows how to win so should not be ruled out.

Nuclear Force

J: G Lerena

T: E Verdonese

Beaten 12l into eighth (Vaal) over Christmas; impressive record of three wins from nine runs here; needs consideration.
