Shipholia

J: S Veale

T: G Van Zyl (jnr)

Successful by just over 1l over 6f at Greyville (handicap) 49 days ago; record shows she knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 5-17) and some competitive efforts here recently; should go close.

Except Temptation

J: S Moodley

T: P B Muscutt

Couldn't land a blow when 11th of 15 in July in a handicap; returns from a layoff; on the shortlist if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Donquerari

J: M Thackeray

T: L W Goosen

Ran well when beaten a neck at Greyville last month (had Hithemhardsunshine and Captain Bombshell behind) in a handicap; has won at this track.

William Robertson

J: D Schwarz

T: C Spies

A course specialist who has won three times here; won a stakes race by just under 2l beating three of these rivals last month; plenty of appeal.

Khethiwe's Destiny

J: A Mgudlwa

T: M F De Kock

Has chalked up two wins from her last three; has won at this track; not disgraced when seventh of 14 six months ago at Greyville in a Grade 2; returning from a layoff here; the trainer has enjoyed plenty of winners of late; one to note now down in grade.

Hithemhardsunshine

J: T Godden

T: A Wright

Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-18) but generally modest form since stakes race success at Greyville last May; split Donquerari (second) and Captain Bombshell (sixth) over 5f at Greyville (handicap) when beaten 3½l in fifth last month; is passed over given the strong opposition here.

Sun Blushed

J: R A Venniker

T: M L Roberts

A course specialist who has won four times here and has maintained his consistent level of form; third behind William Robertson here over 6f (stakes race) last month; definitely of interest.

Captain Bombshell

J: S Hlengwa

T: G B Puller

Beaten 6l in sixth in blinkers (Greyville) over 5f (handicap) two weeks ago; has won here before; this line-up contains some strong opposition so is passed over.

WILLIAM ROBERTSON rates a strong recommendation. He is always to be feared around here (three wins) and is the one to beat based on his most recent effort. Except Temptation has to rate a danger given his excellent course record.
