Barzalona

Finished towards the rear of 14 two weeks ago behind Potent Captain, in a handicap; needs to improve on balance of recent form but he meets the required standard ability wise; no luck with the draw again.

Mr Belvedere

J: C Little

T: J P Nel

Disappointing effort from good draw when a disappointing fifth last month; he meets the required standard ability wise and signs of improvement on last two runs; rates a likely contender if replicating the best of his form and he won a maiden two runs back.

Grade looks suitable; not disgraced in ninth over 6f here (stakes race) three weeks ago when just behind Globetonic; shown he can win fairly recently and is of interest.

Ginger Palace

J: M K Katjedi

Finished last of eight in a handicap upped to 1m last Friday; has struggled to factor since winning a maiden juvenile plate at Fairview last June and poor form of late a cause for concern; a lot on her plate here and looks risky.

A poor draw is a concern for the otherwise interesting Globetonic, and Flower Festival, Globetonic and Below Deck have won over C&D. However, LEGAL THRILLER gets a firm vote. Based on his most recent performance he is a strong form pick and is going for his third course success.
