Producing consistent form and has taken a step forward the last twice; beaten into third when 10-11 over 7f at Scottsville (maiden plate) last month; if he is able to build on his most recent effort then one to take seriously.

Has raised his game the last twice; out of the frame (beaten just over 4l in fourth) over 1m2f here (maiden plate) last month; has shown signs of promise here and there and could be interesting.

Winless with run of consecutive defeats standing at 14 and hit and miss profile recently; behind Brigham here over 1m2f (maiden plate) when tailed off two weeks ago; makes limited appeal as this is a fairly competitive event.

Close up second last month; jockey booking is a positive; he's worth a go if reproducing most recent effort.

Yet to open his account after 13 starts; comfortably beaten finishing fifth here over 6½f (maiden plate) two weeks ago; facing a testing assignment and there are better alternatives here.

Respectable debut effort (beaten just under 2l) over 7f here at 12-1 last month; if stepping up from first effort could be in the mix.

Behind Chieftain's Shield when beaten 13l (eighth of ten) last month; from respected stable but still searching for first win after three tries; she is the only filly here.

| 18 May 24 | Tur Turffontein | 7f | 9-0 | 6/7 | Vj's Angel (19L) | 8/1 | - | - |
Verdict
Firm preference is for CHIEFTAIN'S SHIELD. He makes plenty of appeal on the strength of a good latest effort. Brigham is capable of running well while Molotov Cocktail, who has few miles on the clock, is a contender, and Phil The Fluter has generally been running well.
