Just the one victory on her CV but she meets the required standard ability wise; finished ninth of 12 over 1m here (stakes race), finishing behind three of these rivals last month.

Connoisseur

J: K Matsunyane

Good and bad recent runs found on his CV and poor strike-rate; failed to take advantage of a good draw in a Class 5 finishing towards the rear of 13 when favourite 30 days ago.

Joan The Wad

Last of 13 last month in a Class 5; struggled a bit since winning a maiden plate at Greyville in October; this looks a fair heat so others have more pressing claims.

Galaxy Explorer

J: S Khumalo

T: A J Rivalland

Behind King Bavarian when towards the rear four weeks ago in a Class 5; this is his grade; could be dangerous if excused most recent run as achieved Class 5 success two runs back and has proved he knows how to win.

Animal Impact

Not disgraced when fifth of 12 over 1m here (stakes race) two weeks ago; this looks a decent race so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Festival Of Magic

J: C Zackey

T: M/M De Kock

He meets the required standard ability wise; respectable effort (beaten just under 3l) over 1m here (Class 4) last month; wears first-time cheekpieces; notable rider booked; is a player if duplicating the form of his most recent win.

Attaboy

J: J Botes ⁹

T: P V Lafferty

Unable to land a blow when seventh of ten at Scottsville over 1m (stakes race) two months ago despite a favourable draw; only once has he got into the winners' enclosure but can be a player at this level; should prove competitive given he was third (albeit some way back) two starts ago.

Count Marsh

Season-ticket holder here with four wins; not beaten far in a Class 5 behind King Bavarian four weeks ago; jockey booking is a positive; could be in the mix if replicating most recent run.

Galaxy Explorer is well drawn and warrants respect, and Festival Of Magic, Count Marsh and Galaxy Explorer have run well previously over this C&D. However, BLAZING LIGHT can prove superior to his rivals. He has every chance with winning C&D form.
