J: A Domeyer

Ran well to finish third (beaten just under 2l) at Kenilworth over 5½f (Class 4) when ahead of several of these rivals five weeks ago; major player.

Piroshka

Fair effort (beaten 1½l) when behind the reopposing Street Outlaw 21 days ago; can be a player at this level but a long time since his last win.

Wylie Riley

J: K Steyn

T: P D Wrensch

Finished behind three of these rivals over 5½f at Kenilworth (Class 4) when last of eight 39 days ago; generally been out of sorts of late and a while since his last success; a lot on his plate here and others more appealing.

The Mask

J: C Bantam

T: G S Kotzen

Hasn't really fired since his success in a maiden plate at Greyville last May; split a number of these rivals over 5½f at Kenilworth (Class 4) when beaten 6l (sixth of eight) last month; this is competitive and looks an unlikely winner.

Michael Faraday

J: A Arries

T: P D Wrensch

Last of 15 over 7f at Kenilworth (Class 4) four months ago; achieved each of his two career wins at Kenilworth and needs to improve on balance of recent form; passed over as meeting a number of horses who are in good form.

Masterofthedesert could give the main tip a headache, and Shifting Path and Street Outlaw look like they could get involved. However, firm preference is for COUNTER ATTACK. He finished ahead of Piroshka, The Mask and Wylie Riley when last seen.
