Minogue

J: M Yeni

T: C Dawson

Successful three times from ten career runs; not beaten that far in seventh (just over 4l) over 1m here (Listed race) five weeks ago; she is the only female runner; class drop is a plus; could be of some interest.

Tsar Bomba

J: P Mxoli

T: J J Van Vuuren

Fair effort when beaten just under 2l dropped down to this distance at Vaal in January in a handicap; has won at this track; has struggled to factor since winning a handicap at Vaal last June; facing a testing assignment and others make more appeal.

Night Bomber

Not disgraced when third of seven here over 7f (stakes race) three weeks ago; his best form stacks up so looks like a player.

Esquevelle

J: C Habib

T: C Binda

A winner over C&D; largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Turffontein in July; finished behind Bob's Your Uncle over 7f here (stakes race) when beaten 15l five months ago; has struggled returning from a break in the past and unlikely to do better than a supporting role.

Rock Of Bismantova

J: C Maujean

T: C Spies

Wasn't beaten that far when fourth (beaten 3l) in a handicap four months ago, a race won by the reopposing Silver Tudor; returns from a layoff; others appeal more with a number of his rivals in good nick.
