Run For Cover

J: R Danielson

T: W C Marwing

Managed two wins in his last six outings; has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; found life tough when 5½l back in sixth (Turffontein) in October; returning from a layoff here; likely to go well.

Sutherland

J: P Mxoli

T: S T Pettigrew

Normally pretty consistent; far from disgraced (beaten just over 1l) here over 6f (handicap) 19 days ago; leading claims if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Hazlo Grande

J: C Zackey

T: P F Matchett

No impression when eighth of ten back down to this distance (not far behind Theres A Light) last month; has won here previously; subpar since successful in a handicap at Turffontein five months ago; this line-up contains some strong opposition so may be vulnerable.

Theres A Light

J: G Lerena

T: R R Magner

Beaten a fair way when sixth three weeks ago; generally modest form since maiden plate success at Turffontein last June; this looks a fair heat so easy enough to take on.

Secret Recipe

J: M Yeni

T: M/a Azzie

A winner over C&D; successful twice in her last six starts; won a handicap by just over 1l three weeks ago; now competes off a higher mark; she is the only female runner; this looks tougher but one to take seriously.

Secret Recipe looks the next best while Fully Loaded is respected. But SUTHERLAND is top of the list. He has been running consistently well of late and he knows how to win.
