Beaten a head at Durbanville over 7f (maiden plate) in July; returns from an absence here; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then warrants plenty of respect.

Admirably consistent and seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; favourite and just beaten over 7f at Vaal (maiden plate); closely matched with Count Huhtikuu on that running three weeks ago; should go close if building on most recent effort.

Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 16; finished behind Chieftain's Shield when fourth of 11 a week ago at Vaal upped to 7f; trainer has been going through a quiet spell; this is competitive and hard enough to fancy.

Immediate Edge
J: R Munger
T: M F De Kock
There's hope from the sire that he has some ability; sole newcomer in the field; related to multiple race winner Nafoorah (6f-1m1f); by no means ruled out; stable form is a bonus and he's well drawn.

Verdict

APACHE CHIEF looks the one to back. He is pretty solid on the strength of his latest effort. Golden Alexia must enter calculations while Immediate Edge has fared well with the draw, and Dylan's Champ is lining up on the back of some good runs.
