Landed a narrow success in a handicap beating Afraad and Arlington Action at Vaal last month; has chalked up two wins from his last three; from a respected stable; competing off a higher mark; strong claims.

Arlington Action

J: C Zackey

T: T Zackey

Winner of four races at this venue; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just over 3l) over 1m (handicap) last month; notable jockey booking; must be respected as has won off this mark in the last 12 months and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Royal Mazarin

J: C Maujean

T: J A Soma

Had Damova, To The Rescue and Rainy Season behind him scoring narrowly over 1m4f (handicap) in December; knows how to win here; a rise in the ratings to contend with.

Only A Poet

J: K J Lihaba

T: W H Marwing

Managed just one success in his career to date; comfortably beaten when fourth at 8-11 last month at Vaal in a stakes race; was placed in the Summer Cup and looks a likely player.

Damova

J: M Yeni

T: J A Soma

Was sixth of seven, beaten 11l, 11 days ago in a Listed race; successful three times in her last six starts; she is the only female runner; definitely of interest now down in grade.

Rainy Season

J: M K Katjedi

T: W H Marwing

Behind Royal Mazarin when finishing last two months ago upped to 1m4f; you have to go back a fair way to find his only win; meeting some horses in good form and others more appealing.

TO THE RESCUE has an obvious shout. He has the clear edge on recent form and is bidding for his second course success. Damova may have her stamina stretched over this trip.
