Kaleesh Cyborg

J: M Yeni

T: P F Matchett

A disappointing sixth when second favourite over 1m1f here (maiden plate) last month; second at Vaal in October and should give it a bold bid.

Royal Miracle

J: R Munger

T: W C Marwing

Not beaten too far when fourth here 19 days ago; big player from an inside gate which could lead to a ground-saving trip and has shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

Chieftain's Shield

J: C Zackey

T: T Zackey

Solid run when fifth at Turffontein over 1m (maiden plate) ten days ago; Craig Zackey a noteworthy booking; should not be far away if building on last performance.

Divine Messenger

Yet to manage better than fifth in his three races; finished tailed off over 6f here (maiden plate) in September; returns from a break today; others appeal more.

Shamoon

Best she's managed so far is seventh from three career starts; held when eighth of 13 at Turffontein over 6f (maiden plate) two weeks ago; others more persuasive.

Cape Saffron

J: J R Syster

T: S T Pettigrew

Finished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 4l) at Turffontein last month; should be thereabouts from ground-saving starting berth and she's shown signs of promise here and there.

Midnight Music

J: K Matsunyane

T: B/J Crawford

Held sixth of seven but was making her first appearance at Turffontein over 6f at 33-1 four months ago; hard to see her getting off the mark second time up.
