King Rahul ¹

J: K Matsunyane

T: C Spies

Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) at Vaal last month in a handicap; should not be ruled out as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

National Dream

J: A Mgudlwa

T: A Wright

Course specialist who has won four times here; was held in ninth upped to 1m2f five months ago in a handicap; absence is a concern so has some questions to answer.

Future Saint

J: S Hlengwa

T: M N Prinsloo

Slumped a bit since winning a maiden plate at Greyville last February; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (3½l) three weeks ago in a handicap; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Forest Jump

A prolific C&D winner; finished fifth but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) 49 days ago in a handicap; should be on the premises.

Numzaan

J: M Thackeray

T: F Greyling

Been a while since he achieved his only career win; finished last of 14 (Kenilworth) two months ago in a Class 4; makes limited appeal.

Forest Jump is one that needs plenty of respect while King Rahul isn't out of it. But RAFIKI looks set for a big run. He is bidding for his fourth course success.
