Zeus

J: G Lerena

T: F P Habib

A prolific C&D winner; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just under 4l) five weeks ago in a Grade 1; dropping in class now and could take plenty of beating.

Crimson King

J: K Matsunyane

T: B/J Crawford

Managed two wins in his last four outings; finished towards the rear of 13 here over 1m2f () five weeks ago; has a reasonable shout.

Red Maple

J: C Zackey

T: S G Tarry

Represents a powerful stable and has achieved five wins from 22 career runs; successful by 1l over 1m2f at Vaal (stakes race) when beating Second Base (fourth) and Arumugam (sixth) last month; she takes on the boys here; encouraging jockey booking; has to be taken seriously.

Arumugam

J: J Penny

T: J S Roux

Was sixth of seven, beaten 5l, at Vaal over 1m2f (stakes race) last month on debut for this trainer; has won four times from 1m1½f up to 2m but generally struggled of late; easy to oppose.

Crepuscolo

J: J Gates

T: F P Habib

One win to his name was achieved a fair way back and form has an uneven look to it; far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) at Vaal over 1m½f (handicap) last month.

Crimson King should be looked at, and Red Maple needs to be taken seriously. However, ZEUS has to be the first name on the shortlist. He has claimed minor honours recently and has won over this C&D.
