Danilo Danilovitch

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

Last of eight (Vaal) in October in a stakes race; looks well treated on the pick of his form; a previous winner here; this looks a decent race so others more likely.

Yamadori

J: G Lerena

Fair effort when splitting two of these two months ago; he should go close if replicating the best of his form.

Rollwiththepunches

J: T Mayhew ³

T: R R Magner

A winner over this C&D; potentially well treated; turned in a solid effort in defeat last month, when third at Vaal over 6f (handicap); latest effort was encouraging so on the shortlist.

King Of Venus

J: S Moodley

T: S G Tarry

Managed three wins in his last seven outings; from top stable; finished third of nine when little between him and Nkandla Gold (sixth) last month at Vaal in a stakes race; easy to see him making an impression.

Johnny Appleseed

J: C Maujean

T: A P Peter

Comfortably landed ten-runner handicap at Vaal five weeks ago; managed two wins in his last four outings; should go close as may well be able to cope with hefty hike in the weights and he can cope with this step up in class.

Just The Two Of Us

J: M Yeni

T: M/a Azzie

Not disgraced when sixth at Vaal over Christmas; shown all winning form at Vaal (two successes); Muzi Yeni a noteworthy booking; this looks a decent race so is passed over.

Nkandla Gold ¹

J: M K Katjedi

T: B Webber

Three wins have been gained over this distance; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) when close behind King Of Venus (Vaal) over 5½f (stakes race) last month; this line-up contains some strong opposition so passed over.

It's hard to go against KING OF VENUS here. He has winning C&D form to his name and is taken to confirm the placings after finishing ahead of Nkandla Gold latest. Rollwiththepunches has been knocking on the door of late while Karangetang should be looked at, and Yamadori looks dangerous.
