Pomodoro's Jet

J: C Zackey

T: B/J Crawford

Has never won a race of this value but has achieved six wins from 19 career runs; won fair and square with Savannah Storm and Joker Man behind over Christmas (Vaal) in a conditions race; has to be respected despite having more on his plate.

Savannah Storm

J: R Munger

T: P/J Vermeulen

Achieved six wins at this venue; unable to land a blow when 14th of 19 at Vaal over 7½f (conditions race), finishing well behind reopposing Pomodoro's Jet over Christmas; probably unlikely to trouble the principals with more demanding test in store.

Red Bomber

J: G Lerena

Finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) five weeks ago in a Grade 3; wins-runs record of 3-12 but yet to win a race of this value; might find this easier.

Joker Man

J: R Danielson

T: J J Van Vuuren

All his victories have been gained at a lower level and subpar since successful in a stakes race at Turffontein six months ago; behind Pomodoro's Jet when towards the rear over Christmas with blinkers tried dropped down to 7½f at Vaal in a conditions race; with more on his plate not easy to fancy.

Marauding Horde

Failed to reward backers (9-4) when sixth over 1m2f here () five weeks ago; successful four times from 11 career runs; this looks tougher but has a competitive shout.

Beaten fifth of 13 36 days ago in a Grade 2; on target twice in his last five outings; drops in class; has a reasonable shout.

Command Pilot

J: C Maujean

Claimed a second C&D win last month when successful by 2½l; on target twice in his last six outings; yet to win a race of this value; with more on his plate makes little appeal.

Forgiveness

J: M K Katjedi

T: M F De Kock

Has managed three wins from 12 career runs but wins achieved at a lower level; displayed a fair level of form when 3½l third in November in a Grade 3 handicap; this might be easier; she is the only female runner.

It's hard to get away from POMODORO'S JET. He is expected to confirm placings after he got the better of Savannah Storm and Joker Man when last seen and is proven at the trip. Storm Brasco has run well previously over this C&D.
