Beaten 6l on his debut (6f, Turffontein) at 50-1 five weeks ago; now knows what is expected of him; one to watch out for.

Was sixth of seven, beaten 19l, at Turffontein over 7f (maiden plate) 47 days ago; from respected stable; she takes on the boys here; should not be far away as shown some ability on occasion and she has a bit of experience under her belt.

There's hope from the pedigree that he has some ability; course debutants for this trainer should be taken seriously; August foal; shortlisted as this sire's offspring have a good record in sprints and the current yard form is another tick.

Sibling of I'm A Lady (7f winner); stable not renowned for getting debutant winners; market will be informative regarding his readiness for battle.

Still looking to open his account after three runs; beaten seventh of nine over 6f at Turffontein (maiden juvenile plate) 50 days ago; makes limited appeal.

Verdict
Force Publique is from a top trainer, and Panning Silver should put up plenty of resistance. However, ALESIAN BEAU is a strong pick. He is taken to confirm placings with Ringho and Summer Shade.
