Signs of improvement on last two runs; ran encouragingly when 1½l runner-up (Vaal) last month; can be on the premises if reproducing most recent effort.

Legendary

J: R Danielson

T: C Binda

Hard to crab his most recent performance (runner-up of 15) over 7f at Vaal (maiden plate) in front of Spy Story in November; shown recent signs of improvement; latest effort was encouraging so has a chance.

Comfortably beaten into ninth over 1m at Vaal (maiden plate) three weeks ago; five-race maiden though does have a second place to his name.

Spy Story

J: K Matsunyane

T: S J Gray

Form has an up and down look to it and winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 14; not disgraced when fifth over 7f at Vaal (maiden plate) two weeks ago; easy enough to take on in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Already gelded; from the same family as Time Off, a winner over 6f; running for the first time; should be on the premises with signs of encouragement in profile.

Futurenaire

Far from disgraced, finishing fourth, on his debut here over 5f at 15-2 last month; from a powerful yard; he shouldn't be far away.

Copper Cliff certainly isn't out of it while Legendary must be considered. But FUTURENAIRE gets the nod. He can take a significant step forward from his debut and is expected to improve with the benefit of that experience now behind him.
