Ilha Da Orange

J: G Samo-Burthia ⁹

T: M N Houdalakis

Finished towards the rear of 13 over 5f at Vaal (handicap) 16 days ago; this only her second start in handicap company; rates a likely contender given that not many of these impressed last time out and shown she can get her head in front.

There She Goes

J: M Mbuto ⁹

T: W H Marwing

Not disgraced in fourth last month in a handicap; a winner over this C&D; should get involved as the handicapper has given her a chance and she has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Waitforgreenlight

Heirloom

Royal Horizon ¹

J: B Plaatjies ⁶

T: H Van Der Westhuizen

Hasn't really fired since her success in a maiden plate at Vaal five months ago and not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; not disgraced when eighth of 13 at Vaal 16 days ago in a handicap.

Twice As Wild

J: N Nastili ⁶

Out of the frame (beaten just over 3l in seventh) in a handicap 18 days ago; not a frequent winner; likes this combination of C&D.

Gal Gadot

J: B Marx-Jacobson ⁹

T: S M Naidoo

Possesses winning form at this track; generally been out of sorts of late; finished just behind Twice As Wild when tenth in a handicap last month; easy enough to take on.

WAITFORGREENLIGHT is strongly fancied to come out on top. She bids for a second course success and can confirm placings with Royal Horizon and Ilha Da Orange, who were behind her when last seen. Ilha Da Orange is one to consider from the best draw while Heirloom should be looked at, and There She Goes may give the others plenty to think about.
