J: D Ramkhalawon 6

Came out on top by just under 2l here over 6f (handicap) last month; a rise in the ratings to contend with; this looks tougher but wouldn't rule out a big run.

J: C Zackey
T: S G Tarry
He meets the required standard ability wise and from a respected trainer; fair effort when beaten 2½l at Turffontein over 7½f (handicap) in front of Winds Of Grace last month; Craig Zackey a good booking; strong claims if in the same mood as when achieving most recent success.
