Tiger Cody

J: K De Melo

T: K Naidoo

Best form so far in last two starts; turned in a solid effort in defeat two weeks ago, when third at Greyville in a maiden; latest effort was encouraging so poses a threat.

Lenoxx

J: C Zackey

T: D Kannemeyer

Could not land a telling blow when fourth despite odds of 9-4 in a maiden juvenile plate (Greyville) last month; enters calculations as has bits and pieces of decent form.

King Bud

J: K A Brewer

T: R A Hill

Gelded already; shares a dam with All About Ronnie, a 1m winner; sire a speed influence; record of the yard offers some encouragement; probably best watched this time and the betting could be informative.

Arkadin

J: D Ramkhalawon ⁹

Turned in improved effort at Greyville over 7f (maiden plate) when fourth beaten just over 2l last month; decent claiming jockey booked in D Ramkhalawon.

Akihito

J: C F Dicken

T: G S Kotzen

Stable is operating at a respectable strike-rate; running for the first time; already gelded; September foal; the market will be the best guide as to how ready he will be on this debut.

Enchanting Dream

J: A Mosaheb ⁹

Pinkerton's Son

J: Q Ngcobo ⁹

T: N Kotzen

Tenth of 12 over 7f at Greyville (maiden plate) two weeks ago; yet to get off the mark and losing run stands at nine and recent form hardly the most inspiring; others more persuasive as headgear will need to have a dramatic effect.

Sequential

J: D D Louw ⁶

T: G B Puller

Was fourth of 12 on her debut over this trip at Greyville at 100-1 49 days ago; should benefit for having a run under her belt.

Hot Blooded

J: G Lerena

T: M/M De Kock

From the same family as Hoodwinked, a winner over 1m1½f; early foal; could be involved as some good aspects to his profile and sire a rich source of sprint winners.

Bullet Catch

J: C Little

T: G S Kotzen

Pedigree suggests he may improve with time; trainer's record a potential plus; sire gives plenty of encouragement for 5f; unless there is significant market confidence this newcomer is probably best watched.

Form:

Age: 2

Weight: 9-0

OR: -

Days: -

MAJESTIC LIMPOPO is the recommendation. He is capable of much better than the form of his debut. Hot Blooded looks the pick of the newcomers while Tiger Cody has clocked up some good efforts, and Lenoxx isn't out of it.
