Unbeaten over this C&D after two runs and has won six times here; fair effort when beaten 3½l, finishing sixth of nine over 1m1f here (handicap, just behind Apache Son) last month; one to be interested in.

Has proven competitive in a race of this nature; last of 11 at Greyville last month in a Grade 3; G Lerena booking heightens interest; might find this easier.

Likes it here (five wins); finished runner-up but wasn't beaten too far (just over 3l) four weeks ago in a stakes race; could be interesting.

Beaten 9l five weeks ago when dropped back to this trip on debut for this trainer; looks well treated on the pick of his form and specialist here with three wins; strong contender based on the pick of his form.

Useful performance to win here by 11l last month when getting off the mark at the second time of asking in a maiden plate; despite that Turffontein success, passed over.

Brings plenty of winning course form to the table but quite a while since he tasted success; beaten just over 5l when fourth of eight last week; this line-up contains some strong opposition so one to tread carefully with.

Finished ahead of two of these rivals upped to this distance when going down narrowly 33 days ago; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win in October); now off a higher mark; makes limited appeal with a higher mark to contend with.

Finished towards the rear of 13 at Vaal five months ago; form is hit and miss and hasn't won for a while; returns from an absence here; meeting some horses in good form and looks an unlikely winner.

Verdict
POSITIVE ATTITUDE rates a strong recommendation. He was behind Prince Of Kildare last time but can now reverse placings. Mo Ment has winning form over C&D.
