Kudzu

J: G Lerena

T: J J Van Vuuren

Has winning track form; normally pretty consistent; did well from an unfavourable draw at Vaal when involved in the finish over Christmas; big chance from this advantageous starting berth and his latest run was promising.

Didn't run badly when 25-1 second (Vaal, dropped to this trip) two months ago; edging up the ratings.

Hazlo Grande

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

Creditable effort to finish sixth, beaten 2½l at Vaal over 1m1f (handicap) last month; brings winning C&D form to the table; should give it a bold bid if replicating the best of his form.

Successful by just over 1l to claim second C&D win in November; has chalked up three wins from his last seven; been raised a little in the ratings; by no means ruled out.

King Of Numbers

J: J Gates

T: B Webber

Has winning form at this track; form has an uneven look to it; not beaten too far (1½l) over 6f at Vaal (handicap) 37 days ago; slightly higher rating to contend with; faces a tougher assignment this time so makes little appeal.

Just Var

J: T Mayhew ³

Got the job done by 1l here over 7f (handicap) two months ago; bidding for a hat-trick; slightly higher rating to contend with; up in class but has to be high on list.

Spumante Dolce

J: R Danielson

T: M F De Kock

Got the job done on her debut by 2l over 7f at Vaal at 7-4 44 days ago; she takes on the boys here; poses a threat.

Mutarazi

J: M K Katjedi

T: A G Laird

Not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; behind Kudzu when last of ten at Vaal over Christmas; a few rivals look in good form so only limited appeal.

Eiffel Tower has winning C&D form, and Spumante Dolce has fewer miles on the clock than a lot of these. However, KUDZU looks a solid choice. He is likely to run his race.
