Was fourth of 11, beaten 7l, over 1m2f at Vaal (handicap) last month; course specialist (three wins); winner of a handicap two starts ago so too soon to write him off; needs consideration.

Not beaten too far when fifth here over 1m (handicap, dropped a few pounds since) last month; not many miles on the clock; this is a step down in class.

Behind Utsaah when sixth last month at Vaal in a stakes race; has raised his game the last twice; now upped in trip and not easy to fancy.

Disappointing last month when well berthed behind Utsaah, in a stakes race; potentially well treated and this is his level; prospects.

Verdict
Arumugam may give the others plenty to think about while Apache Son should be on the shortlist. But UTSAAH is a strong pick. She has been a winner at this track and sets the form standard based on her most recent effort.
