Finished towards the rear of 15 here over 6f (conditional maiden) four months ago; shown he can be competitive fairly recently and is of some interest.

Hemisphere

J: G Lerena

T: J J Van Vuuren

This now his fourth attempt to get off the mark; beaten 5l when fifth of ten over 6f here (maiden plate) in October; returns from a break today; notable rider booked; he shouldn't be far away based on the pick of his form.

Pibe De Oro

J: S Khumalo

12th attempt to get off the mark; not disgraced when eighth over 6f here (maiden plate) three weeks ago; likely to be involved as shown he can be competitive fairly recently.

J: K Matsunyane

Lightly raced but yet to get off the mark in five attempts (fourth his best finish); came home eighth, beaten 5l, last month upped to 1m; others appeal more.

The Real Deal

J: G Samo-Burthia ⁹

T: S M Naidoo

Last of eight in November; recent form hardly the most inspiring and 12th attempt to get off the mark; returns from a break today; makes limited appeal.

Alesian Beau is one to consider, and Hemisphere is taken to mount a serious challenge. However, OLD FASHIONED is a firm selection. He is expected to confirm placings after he got the better of Ringho and Turf Guru when last seen and his last run caught the eye.
