J: C Zackey
T: S G Tarry
Has made an impressive start to his career with two wins from four starts and from a powerful trainer; landed a narrow success in a handicap 47 days ago; warrants respect despite having more on his plate and may be capable of overcoming hike in the ratings.

Has shown some recent improvement and seeking a hat-trick today; scored by 1½l over 1m1f here (handicap) last April; returns from a lengthy absence but running in a handicap for only the second time; draw is a plus so has to be respected.

Scored by just under 2l three weeks ago in an apprentice handicap; completed his hat-trick last time; one to take seriously despite moving up in class and his jockey's claim offsets hike in the weights.

Could not manage better than ninth four weeks ago at Vaal, handicapper dropped him a few pounds; this is his grade but struggled a bit in handicaps recently; could have less on his plate in this.

Verdict

An open race - Huehuetenango is an interesting contender from the ideal draw while Gimmethespotlight has won over C&D. However, this can go to KAMBATI. He is bidding for his fourth course success.
