Father Christmas silk
Father Christmas
J: C Zackey
T: A P Peter
Managed two wins in his last four outings; has proven competitive in a race of this nature; solid effort in a Class 4 at Greyville three weeks ago; has to be considered as his last run (after a break) should have set him up nicely for this.

Has won here before; not beaten that far in fourth (just over 4l) three months ago; can give it a good shot as some leniency shown by handicapper and shown he can get his head in front.

Generally been out of sorts of late and not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; finished out the back over 6f at Turffontein (handicap) three months ago; this is competitive and looks risky.

Has winning form at this track; admirably consistent; not far behind Oklahoma Smokeshow when fifth at Turffontein three weeks ago; rates a likely contender if duplicating the form of his most recent win and he's been given a chance by the handicapper.

Useful at this level and on a good mark based on best form; solid effort (was done no favours by the draw) at Turffontein two weeks ago; cannot be ignored if backing up last run and post position could be a help.

Verdict

There is not much between these on figures - Never Never Land needs to be taken seriously while Heal And Soul is one to consider. However, it may pay to side with FATHER CHRISTMAS. He has '1's in the formstring and has won once at this venue previously.
