J: G Lerena

T: R R Magner

Went down by 1½l when third (Turffontein) last month; notable jockey booking; strong claims.

Old Fashioned

J: K Matsunyane

T: C Binda

Six-race maiden but has managed to finish second; touch disappointing to finish only third last month; can give it a good shot.

Beaten a fair way when sixth back down to this trip last week; needs new headgear to provoke some improvement; not one to rely on.

Sky On Fire

J: K J Lihaba

T: T Zackey

Still winless and defeats stacking up (11 on the bounce); tried in blinkers at Turffontein behind Old Fashioned, when beaten 11l (seventh of 11) in December; facing a testing assignment and others more appealing.

Stable get a steady supply of winners; sire a speed influence; the only newcomer in the field; will need to be fully tuned up if he is to be in contention on this initial outing.

Finished seventh, beaten 7l, last Tuesday; yet to finish better than fourth in her five races; she takes on the boys here; others more appealing.
