Trade War

J: S Bungane ⁹

T: N Kotzen

Behind Cotton Ron in a handicap when beaten 9l in July; has scored over C&D; makes limited appeal as record returning from a break is uninspiring.

One Irish Rover

J: D Pillay ⁹

T: M J Odendaal

He accounted for six of his rivals in a handicap when getting the job done by less than a length last month; a leading contender.

Teerex

J: T Godden

T: K Naidoo

Generally struggled with a record of 1-19; fair effort when behind the reopposing One Irish Rover last month in a handicap; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then likely to be involved.

Fair effort when beaten 3½l, finishing seventh of ten three weeks ago in a handicap; wins infrequently; this line-up contains some strong opposition so others appeal more.

Now I Got You

Subpar record of 1-31; behind One Irish Rover in a handicap when only just held last month; if he can build on his latest effort then should go well.

Has proven competitive in a race of this nature and showed up well at this track when third 53 days ago; split El Draque (fourth) and Navajo Dancer (last) at Greyville over 5f (handicap) when beaten 6l five weeks ago.

Gave good account to finish third when behind the reopposing One Irish Rover last month in a handicap; improved form the last twice; has a chance.

ONE IRISH ROVER looks set for a big run. He is expected to confirm placings after he got the better of Now I Got You, Whereverilaymyhat and El Draque when last seen and has won once over this C&D. Whereverilaymyhat has won over C&D while Now I Got You has been hitting the crossbar, and Teerex and Now I Got You are perhaps not open to as much improvement as some of these.
