Towards the rear of 14 over 7f at Turffontein (handicap) 14 days ago; he meets the required standard ability wise; warrants consideration as now running off a lower mark and shown he can get his head in front.

Didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just under 5l) last Thursday upped to 1m½f; has shown glimpses of ability recently and should not be far away.

Beaten 7l in tenth over 7f at Turffontein (handicap) three weeks ago; likely to be in contention with the possibility of a ground-saving trip from her draw and she's won off this mark in the last 12 months.

Fair effort when beaten just over 2l over 7f at Turffontein (handicap) 14 days ago; form is hit and miss and been a while since he achieved his only career win; meeting some horses in good form and easy enough to take on.

Finished towards the rear of 14 over 7f at Turffontein (handicap) 21 days ago; looks well treated on the pick of her form but a while since she's been in the winners' enclosure (last win last February); no luck with gate position again so others have more pressing claims.

Verdict

A tight one to call but MICHAEL FARADAY gets the vote. He is a one-time winner at this track. Golden Aspen is taken to mount a serious challenge, On A Jet Plane certainly isn't out of it, and Bloomington has been hitting the crossbar.
