Finished out the back over 1m6f here (handicap) five weeks ago; track has proven suitable before; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last April); others appeal more.

Positive Attitude
J: C Murray

Held in fourth over 1m2f at Turffontein (handicap, close behind Apache Son) last month; useful at this level and potentially on a good mark; Callan Murray here for just this ride; runs off a lower mark so rates a likely contender.

J: C Zackey
T: H E Adamson
Not disgraced in fourth here over 1m1f (handicap) three weeks ago; this C&D holds no fears; recent efforts have generally been solid; interesting if reproducing his best back form and he is running off a lower mark.

Verdict

CULTURATI is hard to look beyond. He is a one-time winner at this track and can turn around placings with Futurewolff from last time they met. Futurewolff has winning C&D form.
