Finished eighth, beaten 8l, over 5f at Vaal (handicap) last month; achieved each of his two career wins at Vaal but grade looks suitable.

Longsword

J: S Moodley

T: S G Tarry

From respected trainer; finished fifth but only beaten just over 2l over 5f at Vaal (handicap) in October; should get involved as has been given a chance by the handicapper and his recent effort was encouraging.

Secret Chord

J: M Yeni

T: S J Gray

He accounted for three of these rivals when winning by just under 2l five weeks ago; impressive record of three wins from nine runs here; jockey booking is a positive; respected as steep rise in the ratings looks justified and he can cope with this step up in class.

Zanthar

J: G Lerena

T: M/a Azzie

Good effort when close up over 7f at Vaal (handicap) New Year's Eve; now off a higher mark; won't mind the drop in trip and should give it a shot.

Big Boy Bruce

J: M V'Rensburg

Aiming for a third C&D win after his success here last month; yet to taste defeat at this track, winning on all two visits; a rise in the ratings to contend with.

Coppola

J: P Mxoli

T: M Khan

Was behind Secret Chord here five weeks ago when dropped back to this trip; likely player as might be able to capitalise on his reduced mark and he has shown signs of promise in the past.

Vibe Sa

J: C Maujean

Stepped up on his last two starts; off the mark when in front by 1½l at Vaal in a maiden plate last month; despite that Vaal success, others have more pressing claims.

Blizzard Snow

J: K Matsunyane

T: A P Peter

Not beaten too far when fourth of eight here over 7f (handicap) 26 days ago; she is the only female runner; one to be interested in if replicating the best of her form and she has been dropped in the weights.

An open race. Blizzard Snow has to be on the shortlist, however, could struggle to defy a hike in the weights while Longsword, Blizzard Snow and Secret Chord are C&D winners. However, the selection is ZANTHAR. He has shown a liking for this course and distance.
