Nocturnal Flight

J: G Lerena

T: P B Muscutt

Did well from an unfavourable draw here over 1m (Class 4) last month; has been consistent of late and he can be competitive at this level; notable rider booked; can figure from a handy draw and shown he can get his head in front.

Arverni King

J: S Veale

T: M J Odendaal

Brings winning C&D form to the table; finished towards the rear of 15 over 1m here (Class 4) when behind three of these on first run for current trainer last month; stable has been going through a quiet spell; probably unlikely to trouble the principals with several rivals in good nick.

Fine Admiral

J: S Hlengwa

Behind Riccardo in a handicap at Greyville when involved in the finish two months ago; has won previously at this course; managed three wins in his last seven outings; has strong claims as he goes well fresh.

Riccardo

This C&D holds no fears; big price (14-1) when winning Greyville handicap two months ago; interesting.

Rodriguez

J: D Schwarz

T: L W Goosen

Has won at this track; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last March); finished seventh, beaten a fair way last month at Greyville upped to 1m2f; others appeal more as this is a fairly competitive event.

Intuitive Spirit

J: C Zackey

T: F Robinson

Gained a just over 1l success, breaking his duck at the sixth time of asking at Greyville in August upped to 1m3½f in a maiden plate; booking of Craig Zackey takes the eye; returns from a break today; despite that Greyville success, looks opposable.

Escapologist

J: S Moodley

T: M Dixon

Fair effort when beaten just under 4l, finishing fourth of seven at Greyville over Christmas in a handicap; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; she has a shout.

Escapologist is capable of running well, and Nocturnal Flight is well drawn and warrants respect. However, FINE ADMIRAL is a strong pick. He is fancied to reverse the placings with Riccardo from their last meeting.
