Finished ninth of 12 last month in a stakes race; grade looks suitable and on a good mark based on best form; certainly not out of it.

Missed the frame (beaten 5½l into ninth) over 1m here (handicap) three weeks ago; successful three times from 14 career runs; can run off a lower mark and must be respected.

Scored narrowly in a handicap at Vaal 30 days ago; been raised a little in the ratings; handicapper increases the burden so hard enough to fancy.

Out of the frame when sixth at Vaal over 1m1f (handicap) last week; multiple course winner; can run off a lower mark and some hopes.

Fair effort when beaten 3½l, finishing fifth of 13 over 1m4f at Vaal (stakes race) 23 days ago; a few rivals look in good form so others make more appeal.

Close up behind Repetition when last over 1m5f here (handicap) last month; a few rivals look in good form so looks opposable.

Verdict
KUDZU looks the one to back. He is bidding to land a second win over this C&D. Tsar Bomba may have his stamina stretched over this trip while Lava Lamp poses a serious threat to the tip, and Diesel's Shadow certainly isn't out of it.
