Quatermain ¹

J: G Samo-Burthia ⁹

T: R Klaasen

Shown all winning form at Kenilworth (three successes); ran encouragingly when just over 2l second over 1m1f at Vaal (handicap) 23 days ago; definite chance as latest run was an encouraging one.

Diesel's Shadow

J: G Lerena

T: E Verdonese

Has winning form at this track; not disgraced when fourth of nine over 1m½f at Vaal (handicap) in October; needs to be taken seriously if recapturing winning form and he's been given a chance by the handicapper.

Beynac

J: P Strydom

T: B/J Crawford

Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; a most decisive winner at Vaal over 1m1f (maiden plate), opening his account at the sixth time of asking last month.

High Queue

J: R Danielson

T: C Binda

Not disgraced in fourth at Greyville over 1m1½f (handicap) three months ago; a winner over C&D; managed two wins in his last four outings; edging up the ratings but the trainer is going well; has a good draw so not without hope.

Casus Belli

T: P F Matchett

Seems to have stepped up on previous form the last twice; came out on top by just under 2l in a maiden plate when registering his first success at the fifth time of asking 16 days ago (Vaal) upped to this trip.

Flag Bearer

J: C Maujean

T: F Bronkhorst

Behind Thambi when a disappointing seventh at Vaal over 1m1f (handicap) two weeks ago despite a favourable draw; posted a few good efforts here of late; has won previously at this course; makes limited appeal as this looks a fair heat.

Thambi

J: K A Brewer

T: M Pandaram

Unable to land a blow in sixth over 1m1f at Vaal (handicap) 16 days ago; specialist here with three wins but generally been out of sorts of late; this line-up contains some strong opposition so may have to settle for supporting role at best.

DIESEL'S SHADOW is the pick of these. He knows how to get his nose in front and is bidding for his second course success. The otherwise interesting Beynac has a stamina query to answer at this trip while Quatermain has been running well in defeat of late, and High Queue looks well drawn.
