Last of 11 six months ago in a Class 4; largely been out of sorts and not a frequent winner; returns from a break here; probably unlikely to trouble the principals as this looks a decent race.

Far from disgraced (beaten 2½l) 18 days ago; has won at this track; slumped a bit since winning a stakes race at Durbanville in February; meeting some horses in good form and others appeal more.

Has scored over C&D; finished ahead of three of these when beaten a neck two weeks ago; ought to be competitive.

This C&D holds no fears; not beaten too far when seventh of nine 43 days ago in a Class 4; others appeal more given this looks a decent race.

Behind three of these when last of ten last month; been generally quiet since successful in a handicap at Vaal in January; facing a testing assignment and looks opposable.

Has won here before; managed three wins in his last seven outings; fair effort over 6f here (Class 4) two weeks ago; this looks a decent race so he can be taken on.

Has been fairly consistent lately; couldn't quite get the job done when 4-11 runner-up over 6f here (Class 4) last month; has to be feared.

Verdict
CORK BAY is strongly fancied to come out on top. He has been running consistently well of late. United Front has run well previously over this C&D.
