Kaleesh Cyborg

J: R A Venniker ³

T: P F Matchett

Came up short at Vaal when sixth of 11 over 1m1f (maiden plate) last month; poses a threat given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and he ran well in defeat three starts ago.

Mizzen Sword

J: G Lerena

T: M Khan

Yet to win, defeats are stacking up; beaten 11l when fourth of nine a week ago; can be in the thick of things with so many of these having something to prove and he has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.

Trip To States

Produced several respectable runs lately; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at 17; not disgraced when fourth three weeks ago; easy to oppose.

Sommersilber

J: K Matsunyane

First-time blinkers didn't work when beaten 12l five weeks ago; attempting to get off the mark at the sixth time of asking (fifth his best finish so far); others more likely.

Cronus

J: D De Gouveia

T: S G Tarry

Not able to make an impression when eighth despite 9-4 odds at Vaal two months ago; lightly raced (running for just the third time); hails from a good trainer; has to be considered as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

Kaleesh Cyborg is a major threat to the tip while Mizzen Sword and Mirror Flection are place candidates. But CRONUS gets a firm vote. He can be forgiven an underwhelming run last time.
