Still searching for his first win after nine attempts and recent form is unremarkable; beaten 13l over 7½f here (maiden plate) last month; trainer has been going through a quiet spell; meeting some horses in good form and hard enough to fancy.

Split two of these rivals two weeks ago over 1m at Turffontein (maiden plate) when beaten 5l in fourth; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and likely to be involved.

Has raised her game the last twice; finished in front of Twelfth Of Never and Lanteri over 1m at Turffontein (maiden plate) when third (sent off 5-4) 16 days ago; not been able to get her head in front lately so unlikely to trouble the principals.

Verdict
This trip could be a bit far for Twelfth Of Never, and Lanteri certainly isn't out of it. However, EVENING NEWS gets the vote. He can overturn the form with a few of his rivals.
