Finished tenth of 12 over 1m2f here (handicap) behind Kiss Of Fire, 14 days ago; this only her second handicap outing; meeting some horses in good form and only limited appeal.

Beaten narrowly over 1m2f at Greyville (Class 5) two weeks ago; you have to go back a fair way to find his only win but consistent lately; encouraging jockey booking; should be in the mix if replicating most recent run - return to this trip is a plus too.

Mostly consistent recently and appears to be on the upgrade judged on two most recent runs; produced an encouraging effort (runner-up of ten, beaten 1½l) over 1m2f at Turffontein (handicap) 28 days ago; just second start in this company; should go close.

Ran encouragingly when just under 2l third over 1m2f at Turffontein (handicap, just behind Storm Ahead) last month; string of consistent efforts of late; encouraging jockey booking; his draw is a positive here so has a competitive shout.

Not disgraced when sixth of 12 over 7f at Turffontein (handicap) 21 days ago; performed at a higher level than this in his peak and winner of three races at this venue.

Poor strike-rate; well held having been fancied when ninth over 1m2f here (handicap) 14 days ago just under 4l behind Cartagena; can give it a good shot as the handicapper has given him a chance and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Was held in seventh over 1m2f here (handicap) two weeks ago; this just her second run in a handicap; this looks a fair heat so is passed over.

Finished last of 11 over 1m2f here (handicap) 14 days ago, 7l behind Cartagena; unexposed in handicaps with this her second start in this company; a lot on her plate here and not hard to turn elsewhere.

Not beaten far when runner-up here over 1m (handicap) last week; three wins from 20 here; has claims with a good draw to help and there was plenty to like about his latest performance.

Got the job done in a handicap by a neck when Gamer and City Lights were behind her 14 days ago; a rise in the ratings to contend with.

Verdict
An open event but CARNELO is worth siding with. He was behind Storm Ahead last time but can now reverse placings and has been running consistently well. Viva de Janeiro should be in the hunt.
