All six career wins over this trip and thriving of late; defied a big price (25-1) last month; been raised a little in the ratings; up in class but warrants consideration.

Longsword

J: G Lerena

T: S G Tarry

Narrow 16-1 Turffontein handicap winner last month; from a top trainer; a rise in the ratings to contend with but G Lerena a notable jockey booking; looks likely to be involved.

Blaze A Way ¹

J: D Schwarz

T: F P Habib

Lightly raced (this just his fifth race); split a number of these rivals when beaten 8l (sixth of ten) at Vaal two months ago; easy to see him making an impression as now running off a lower mark and shown he can win fairly recently.

Covert Operator

J: M Yeni

T: J J Van Vuuren

Has been consistent of late and on a good mark based on best form; split a number of these rivals when fourth beaten 2½l last May (now lower in the weights); returns from a layoff here; now down in grade and likely to give a strong account.

Nkandla Gold ¹

J: M K Katjedi

T: B Webber

Been generally quiet since successful in a handicap at Vaal last June and form lately has been a mixed bag; this looks a decent race so others more persuasive.

Kinshin Sha

J: C Zackey

Duke Of Rock

J: J Gates

Had three of these rivals behind him at Vaal when runner-up at 33-1 (beaten just under 5l) two months ago; off a higher mark; others more likely now operating off an increased mark.
