Warm Winter Nite ¹

J: K Matsunyane

T: F P Habib

C&D winner including when successful by just over 4l 52 days ago; on target three times in his last seven outings; can figure as may still be a step ahead of the handicapper despite ratings hike and this step up in class unlikely to hinder him.

Has scored over C&D; from powerful stable; fair effort (beaten 1½l) here over 5f (handicap) two months ago; knows how to win so big chance.

Hong Kong

J: G Lerena

Can boast winning form over this C&D; not had much racing - fifth outing here; good effort when close up in a graduation plate at Vaal last month; likely to be thereabouts.

Open Highway

J: S Khumalo

T: F Bronkhorst

Has won at this course; finished just behind Prince Of Kildare when fourth last month upped to 7f; should be thereabouts as a winner off a similar mark and his latest run was promising.

Behind Paul Revere (Vaal) when beaten 16l six weeks ago; a winner over this C&D; good record with Marco v'Rensburg, who is restored to the saddle here.

Gaelic Dancer

J: P Mxoli

T: P F Matchett

Last of nine over 7f here (handicap) last month; has winning form at this track; been generally quiet since successful in a maiden plate at Turffontein last June; this looks a decent race so unlikely to trouble the principals.
