Santiago's Pride

J: K J Lihaba

T: W H Marwing

Behind several of these at Vaal when beaten 18l (ninth of 11) dropped back in distance last month; stepped up on his last two starts; is a player from a draw which could make things easier and he finished second two runs ago.

Count Huhtikuu

T: B/J Crawford

Ran well from a poor draw over 1m here (maiden plate) last month; could be in the mix as shown promise on occasion and he has a good draw.

Yojimbo

Was tailed off three months ago; some promise; closest he has come to winning after five starts was a second.

Lightinthestorm

J: R Munger

T: T Zackey

A respectable third of eight over 1m2f at Vaal (maiden plate) where just ahead of The Merciful two weeks ago; still without a win after 11 starts but has shown some recent improvement; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then looks like a player.

Mystic Vision

J: M Yeni

T: P F Matchett

Yet to get off the mark in three attempts (fifth his best finish); finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (4l) over 6f here (maiden plate) in December; capable of making an impact.

Splashlanding

Still searching for first win after seven tries; behind two of these last month when towards the rear here dropped down to 1m; others are preferred as this could be a hot race.

Blue Crystal

J: D Schwarz

T: P P Labuschagne

Unable to land a blow when tenth of 11 over 7f at Vaal (maiden plate) last month; winless in four starts but has shown promise with third his top showing; easy enough to take on after being handed another unfavourable draw.

The Merciful

J: N Nastili ⁶

T: T Zackey

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Vaal (beaten 4½l) over 1m2f (maiden plate) two weeks ago; proving a little expensive to follow; often been there or thereabouts lately.

Gold De Grace

Finished out the back over 6f here (maiden plate) four weeks ago; attempting to open his account at the sixth time of asking; steps into the unknown over new trip and is passed over.

The Ultimate King

J: G Lerena

Fair effort when beaten 2l over 7½f at Vaal (maiden plate) last month; clear chance as has a pedigree which suggests there is more to come.

Count Huhtikuu is an interesting contender from the ideal draw but THE ULTIMATE KING looks a solid choice. Sky Pillar Rock is capable of running into at least a place, and Lightinthestorm should be in the hunt.
