Tintamarre

J: M Mbuto ⁹

T: A G Laird

Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just over 4l) in a stakes race two weeks ago; a course winner; arguably the one to beat if able to find the same level as his last victory.

Guerilla Warfare

J: G Dookhit ⁹

Breath Of Magic

J: J Botes ⁹

T: F Bronkhorst

Has a couple of good recent course efforts to his name but been generally quiet since successful in a maiden plate at Vaal in July; comfortably beaten finishing sixth in a stakes race at Greyville last month; this looks a decent race so not one to rely on.

Carnelo

J: K J Lihaba

T: S M Naidoo

Sound effort when 20-1 runner-up last month; brings winning C&D form to the table; hasn't won for a while; a rise in the ratings to contend with; faces a tougher assignment this time so others have more pressing claims.
