Highway Code

J: K Strydom

T: R Klaasen

Finished behind Midnight Show in a maiden plate when beaten just over 4l in sixth two weeks ago; five-race maiden though does have a second place to his name; needs to leave most recent form behind him in new headgear and others are preferred.

Kovil

J: K A Brewer

T: M Pandaram

Fair effort over 7f at Vaal (maiden juvenile plate) four weeks ago; yet to get off the mark in three attempts (fourth his best finish); hasn't had any luck with the draw and easy enough to take on.

Beaten a fair way when sixth at Vaal over 6f (maiden juvenile plate) last month; best he's managed so far is fifth from three career starts; others more appealing.

Midnight Show rates a serious contender but JIMMY VEGA is expected to get the job done. Micro Jet has a useful draw, and Putthelightsout might have a say.
