Azure Warrior

J: K Strydom

Gelded already; shares a dam with Double Edge, a 1m1f winner; first racecourse start; remains to be seen whether he'll be clued up enough to get off the mark - this one is best watched.

Prince Ivar

J: K De Melo

T: M/M De Kock

Left backers frustrated on his debut, flopping at 5-2 in June at Turffontein over 6f; easy to see him making an impression with a little experience under his belt and it was interesting that he was well backed last time.

Platinum Shay

J: K A Brewer

T: P P Labuschagne

Out of the frame (beaten 5l in fourth) 15 days ago in a stakes race; still winless and defeats stacking up (ten on the bounce); makes limited appeal given this looks a decent race.
