Beaten 9l in fifth last week at Vaal in a stakes race; possesses winning form at this track; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.

Not disgraced in fifth here over 1m (handicap, dropped a few pounds since) 21 days ago; remains far from exposed; this represents an easier task than his previous race.

| 7 May 26 | Tur Turffontein | 10f | Md | 9-1 | 2/6 | Green Machine (2¼L) | 28/10 | 73 | - |
Has arguably shown improved form the last twice; beaten 7l when sixth of ten two weeks ago (Vaal) in a stakes race; may have to settle for supporting role with stamina to prove at this new trip.

Well drawn in a stakes race (behind Utsaah) when beaten 15l (eighth of ten) three weeks ago; looks well treated on the pick of his form and useful in this grade; is a player.

| 18 Jun 26 | Vaa Vaal | 9f | Hc | 8-11 b | 3/14 | Best Candidate (5¾L) | 80/1 | 71 | 66 |
Verdict
Arumugam rates a serious danger to the tip, and Apache Son is interesting. However, UTSAAH is the recommendation. She is arguably the pick of these based on her recent success and can confirm superiority with Euphrates and Epidaurus who were behind her when last seen.
