Address The Nation

J: C Maujean

Gained narrow success in a handicap last month; bidding for hat-trick; now off a higher mark; up in class but can't be ruled out.

Wyzeact

Potentially well treated but quite a while since he tasted success; not far behind Cian The Conqueror when tenth at Vaal two months ago; is passed over with several rivals in good nick.

Secret Chord

J: A Fortune

T: S J Gray

Winner of three races at this venue; scored by a slim margin in a handicap at Vaal 30 days ago; a rise in the ratings to contend with; clear chance.

Zanthar

J: C Zackey

T: M/a Azzie

Not disgraced in seventh four weeks ago in a Grade 3; Craig Zackey a noteworthy booking; some claims in this lower-class event and he is certainly not devoid of ability.

Kindred Heart

J: R Munger

T: B/J Crawford

Solid third over 5f here (handicap) two weeks ago; low strike-rate of 1-15; she takes on the boys here; capable of making an impact.

Nkandla Gold ¹

J: M K Katjedi

T: B Webber

Respectable display to finish fourth, beaten 1½l over 5f at Vaal (handicap) three weeks ago; all his winning form has come at Vaal (three successes); facing a testing assignment and others are preferred.

Zanthar is beginning to look exposed while Address The Nation must enter calculations. But SECRET CHORD can prove superior to his rivals. He has been a winner at this track.
