Behind It's Personal when finishing fourth beaten 4l last month; suited by this C&D; quite a while since he tasted success; easy enough to take on.

A course winner; largely disappointing since successful in a handicap at Vaal last September; no impression when seventh of nine here over 6f (handicap) 49 days ago; passed over.

Well held in the Gold Medallion at Scottsville three months ago; has won previously at this course; has made a pleasing start to his career with three wins from five starts; warrants respect in this lower-class event and he has won in classy company before.

Scored by just under 2l (Vaal) two weeks ago; has won two of his three career starts; raised a fair amount in the weights.

Verdict
Trompe l'Oeil should be in the hunt while Time Is Precious is respected although is off a much higher mark than last time. But firm preference is for IT's PERSONAL. IT's PERSONAL can enhance his C&D record.
