Has winning C&D form to his name; normally pretty consistent; went down by 1l when third at Turffontein over 6f (handicap) two months ago; been raised a little in the ratings but running in a handicap for only the second time; one to consider.

Recent form is unremarkable; towards the rear of 15 over 5½f at Turffontein (handicap, behind Hemisphere) off higher mark last month; this is a step down in class but not easy to fancy.

Likes this combination of C&D; consistent performer; fourth, beaten less than a length, last month; hard to dismiss if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success and he has been dropped in the weights.

Has found improvement of late; fair effort over 5½f at Turffontein (handicap) last month; runs for only the second time in a handicap; shown he can get his head in front so needs to be respected.

J: C Zackey
T: M N Houdalakis
Not a frequent winner; likes this combination of C&D; finished towards the rear of 13 (behind four of these rivals) last month; leading claims off the same rating as for a previous success and he is certainly not devoid of ability.

Verdict

KINSHIN SHA is a strong fancy. He is a C&D winner and although behind some of these latest, is taken to overturn those placings. Tiger Storm has run well previously over this C&D.
