Pomodoro's Jet

J: G Lerena

T: B/J Crawford

Clear-cut victory at Vaal over Christmas when beating Savannah Storm (14th) and Joker Man (towards the rear) in a conditions race; all his victories have been gained at a lower level but resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a seventh career win); should not be far away despite being up in class.

Savannah Storm

J: R Munger

T: P/J Vermeulen

Specialist here with six wins; was behind Pomodoro's Jet at Vaal over Christmas when beaten 11l in a conditions race; this represents a step up in class so only limited appeal.

Joker Man

J: R Danielson

T: J J Van Vuuren

Slumped a bit since winning a stakes race at Turffontein in July and all his wins have been at a lower level; safely held at Vaal over Christmas behind Pomodoro's Jet when towards the rear of 19 (dropped back to 7½f) in a conditions race.

Marauding Horde

J: J Penny

T: M F De Kock

Sent off 9-4 but could only finish sixth in a (dropped to 1m2f) six weeks ago; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 4-11); more on his plate this time but may be involved.

Storm Brasco

T: S G Tarry

On target twice in his last five outings; got home in front by a head over 7f here (progress plate) last month; more on his plate but looks like a player.

Chestnut Bomber

J: P Mxoli

T: J J Van Vuuren

Has chalked up two wins from his last five; comfortably beaten into fifth 42 days ago in a Grade 2; might find this easier; by no means ruled out.

Command Pilot

J: C Maujean

T: A G Laird

Aiming for a third C&D win after his success here last month; successful twice in his last six starts; this represents a step up in class so others appeal more.

The selection is POMODORO'S JET. He is bidding for another success at this distance and can confirm superiority with Savannah Storm and Joker Man who were behind him when last seen. Storm Brasco has won over C&D.
