Sundance Kid

J: K Matsunyane

Beaten fourth of nine in a stakes race at Greyville 19 days ago; a previous winner here; has won four times from 5f up to 1m½f; potential to save ground from this stall so rates a likely contender.

Down By The River

J: B Plaatjies ⁶

T: P B Muscutt

Just over 1l fifth to the reopposing Famous Warrior in a Class 4 when not beaten too far 31 days ago; quite a while since he tasted success and not the most consistent of horses lately; others appeal more with several rivals in good nick.

Last One Standing

J: D Daniels

T: G S Kotzen

Finished out the back in a stakes race at Greyville (behind Sundance Kid) last month; form has been a bit up and down of late and a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win in 2023); meeting some horses in good form and unlikely to trouble the principals.

Trois Trois Quatre has run well previously over this C&D while Sundance Kid is an interesting contender from the ideal draw. But I SALUTE YOU may prove the pick. He has won here once before and has plenty of scope for improvement.
