Inafix

J: C Habib

T: C Binda

Managed two wins in his last five outings; shown all winning form at Vaal (three successes); split a number of these rivals at Vaal over 6f (handicap) when beaten 4l in sixth two months ago; jockey booking is a positive.

Samoa

J: G Lerena

T: B H Stidolph

Has winning form over this course and distance on the CV; respectable effort (beaten just over 2l) here over 6f (handicap) six weeks ago; G Lerena a good booking; rates a likely contender operating off a reduced mark and her last run was encouraging.

Bregardt

J: G Samo-Burthia ⁹

T: F Bronkhorst

Tailed off (Vaal) 16 days ago; showed up well at this track when third in November but has struggled to factor since winning a maiden plate at Vaal last June; this looks a decent race so passed over.

Split a number of these rivals when third (sent off 9-4) last month; producing consistent form but you have to go back a fair way to find his only win.

Together Again

J: R Munger

T: J A Visser

Wins infrequently; couldn't land a blow when sixth of 12 over 6f here (handicap) two weeks ago; she has a shout as has won off this mark in the last 12 months and the handicapper has given her a chance.

Dancing Dora

J: S Khumalo

T: F Bronkhorst

A winner over C&D; respectable effort when behind the reopposing In The Ether at Vaal three weeks ago; should not be far away if replicating most recent run and handicapper has cut her some slack.

Life Goes On

J: K Matsunyane

T: C Binda

Not disgraced when ninth of 11 here over 6f (handicap) two months ago; a while since his last success and generally been out of sorts of late; a few rivals look in good form so is passed over.

Potentially well treated but all his winning form has come at Vaal (three successes); no threat to winner, Phala Millions, at Vaal last month (finished seventh) over 6f (handicap) when beaten 6l.

Twice As Wild

J: N Nastili ⁶

Track has proven suitable before; not disgraced when fifth of ten over 6f at Vaal (handicap) three weeks ago; could be in the mix as shown promise on occasion and she is running off a lower mark.

Si Veloce

J: L Nhlapo

T: J A Visser

Recent form nothing to write home about and struggled a bit in handicaps recently; unable to land a blow when eighth of nine here over 6f (handicap, behind Samoa) 42 days ago; a few rivals look in good form so others are preferred.

Thymetoshine

J: K A Brewer

Generally struggled with a record of 1-17 and largely not been running well; finished tailed off over 7f here (handicap) last month; easy to oppose with several rivals in good nick.

Twice As Wild certainly isn't out of it, and Samoa is capable of having a say. However, IN THE ETHER looks a solid choice. She arrives with possibly the best recent form (won at Vaal three weeks ago) and has won over this trip before.
