Blackberry Breeze

J: A Mgudlwa

T: A Wright

Not beaten that far in sixth (3½l) at Vaal over 1m1f (handicap) in August; returning from a layoff here; respected from a draw which should help and has shown some ability on occasion.

Came out on top by 1½l in a handicap in December; on a hat-trick after last win and has achieved three wins from 13 career runs; warrants respect.

Rototo

J: D Schwarz

Signs of improvement on last two runs; could not compete with Stars In Heaven when last in December in a handicap; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role in what appears to be a competitive contest.

Red Mountain

J: M Thackeray

T: R A Hill

Not beaten too far when fourth at Greyville in a handicap in December; boasts winning form over C&D; blinkers not had desired effect on his last two runs; a lot on his plate here and not one to rely on.

Apex Predator

It's a competitive looking affair but the vote goes to MY BOY LOLLIPOP. He is bidding for his second course success and is hard to ignore if forgiven a modest most recent effort. Stars In Heaven has winning C&D form, Apex Predator is considered although might not get the trip, and the well drawn Blackberry Breeze has claims.
