Ice Dragon

J: B Marx-Jacobson ³

T: G J Maroun

Largely disappointing since successful in a maiden plate at Vaal in October; not far behind Gunboat when seventh over 5f at Vaal (handicap) two weeks ago on debut for this trainer; hard enough to fancy.

Ready Set Fire

J: C Zackey

T: F Bronkhorst

Track has proven suitable before; bidding for a hat-trick; had two of these in arrears when winning with a bit to spare (Vaal) last Thursday; must be high on list as steep rise in the ratings looks justified and he can handle the step up in class.

Valieva

J: C Maujean

T: F Bronkhorst

Brings winning C&D form to the table; fair effort when beaten just over 3l, finishing sixth of 14 back down to this trip last month; could be interesting as shown some ability on occasion and handicapper has cut her some slack.

Gunboat

T: W/W Marwing

Beaten a fair way when fifth over 5f at Vaal (handicap) last month; this looks a fair heat so looks an unlikely winner.

Winter In Auckland

J: K Matsunyane

T: A P Peter

Out of the frame (beaten 3½l in seventh, Kenilworth) in February in a Class 5; signs of improvement on last two runs; returns from a layoff; this is competitive and others more appealing.

Peace Treaty

J: G Samo-Burthia ⁶

11th of 12 here over 1m1f (handicap) in March; a course winner; from a respected trainer; has shown some ability on occasion and likely to be in contention.

Time Will Tell

J: K Strydom

T: F Bronkhorst

Producing solid form figures; generally struggled with a record of 1-23; behind Ready Set Fire (Vaal) putting in a solid effort to finish runner-up last week; looks more likely to place than win so is passed over.

Arizona Magic has to overcome a hike in the handicap, and Ready Set Fire, Arizona Magic and Valieva are C&D winners. However, it is hard to get away from EVENING PARADE. He has been a winner at this track and has plenty of scope for improvement.
