Found life tough when 7l back in seventh in a maiden three weeks ago; possibilities based on the pick of his form and post position a big plus.

Recent form hardly the most inspiring and still winless and defeats stacking up (14 on the bounce); beaten 13l in seventh at Turffontein over 7f (maiden plate) five months ago; has had some time off; this looks a fair heat so looks opposable.

Finished just behind George Rex when sixth in a maiden two weeks ago; recent form nothing to write home about and yet to open her account after 17 starts; a lot on her plate here and hard to recommend.

Sole debutant in the line up; from the same family as Le Harve, a winner over 5f; big chance with signs of encouragement in profile.

Verdict

Alakazam should be on the shortlist but TALKING POINT gets a firm vote. Kaleesh Cyborg has a useful draw, and Turbulent has posted some good efforts of late.
