Trident King

J: K Matsunyane

Out of the frame when eighth behind Laughing William, in October; a previous winner here; looks well treated on the pick of his form; should go close from a good draw and finished third two runs ago.

Laughing William

Respectable effort (beaten 1½l) six weeks ago; in the mix if duplicating the form of his last win and the handicapper has given him a chance.

Last Ginger

J: K J Lihaba

T: W H Marwing

Failed to make much of an impact in handicaps recently and generally been out of sorts of late; last of ten over 1m here (handicap) five weeks ago; this looks a decent race so there are better alternatives here.

Laughing William should be in the mix from a decent draw while Solar Sail is respected. But CORRUPT looks set for a big run. He scored six months ago at the first time of asking and is less exposed than some of his rivals.
