Was sixth of 19, beaten 7l, over Christmas (Vaal) in a conditions race; wins-runs record of 4-13; his draw is a positive here so could have a say.

Imperial Master

J: J R Syster

T: S T Pettigrew

Creditable effort to finish fourth, beaten 1½l at Vaal last month; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as this is a fairly competitive event.

Scarlett Pimpernel

J: T Mayhew ³

T: M/a Azzie

Not far behind Imperial Master when eighth off higher mark at Vaal last month; looks well treated on the pick of his form but not made much of an impact recently in handicaps; others more persuasive despite dropping in class.

Behind Forgiveness in a Grade 3 handicap when tailed off in November; course specialist (three wins); is not ruled out in this lower-class event and the handicapper has given her a chance.

Forgiveness

J: G Lerena

T: M F De Kock

Resume shows that she is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); finished third of 11 in November in a Grade 3 handicap; a rise in the ratings to contend with; can have a big say in this lower-class event and breaking from ground-saving draw.

Towers Of Gold

J: M Yeni

T: P F Matchett

Scored by just under 3l five weeks ago (Vaal) upped to 1m2f; on target twice in his last four outings; not discounted despite this step up in class and may be capable of overcoming hike in the ratings.

Littlemarysunshine has to be on the shortlist, however, could struggle to defy a hike in the weights while Towers Of Gold needs to be considered. But FORGIVENESS is top of the list. She has shown in the past that she is able to get the job done and has been successful at this track before.
