Not far behind Golden Rule when seventh in a stakes race three weeks ago; others more likely with several rivals in good nick.

Knows how to win here; finished third of nine over 6f at Scottsville () in February; returns from a layoff here; Craig Zackey a noteworthy booking; likely to be in contention with the ground-saving draw and he goes well fresh.

Subpar since successful in a conditions plate at Greyville in January; could not manage better than eighth over 1m here (conditions race) last month; others more appealing with this looking like a hot contest.

Record over this C&D is four wins from eight runs; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4l) three weeks ago in a stakes race; should not be far away.

Verdict
Hierkommiebokkie looks well drawn, and Future Flo, Golden Rule and Hierkommiebokkie are C&D winners. However, firm preference is for CITY OF LOVE. He has a healthy career strike-rate and can't be faulted for consistency.
