Respectable effort to finish third in January (Vaal) upped to 7f; not had much racing - fifth outing here; this only his second handicap outing; returns from a layoff.

Not beaten that far in fourth (3½l) last month; shown signs of promise here and there and should go well.

Lightly raced (running for just the third time); respectable effort to finish runner-up over 6f here (juvenile plate) three months ago; one to take seriously.

Last of seven three weeks ago (behind Banyan), handicap mark eased since; all five career wins have been at this trip; makes limited appeal despite dropping in class.

Finished ninth, beaten a fair way in May; returns from a layoff here; others appeal more given many of his rivals are in good form.

| 2 Aug 25 | Tur Turffontein | 5f | Md | 9-6 | 1/7 | Bingo (3¼L) | 16/1 | - | 56 |
Stepped up on his last two starts; won with something to spare in a maiden plate (dropped to this trip, Vaal) when getting off the mark at the fifth time of asking two weeks ago; strong claims.

Verdict
Fierceness may give the others plenty to think about, and Banyan is capable of running well. However, PERIODIC TABLE is a strong pick. He has the clear edge on recent form and must have every chance over a distance that suits.
