Finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (3½l) when separating a number of reopposing rivals three weeks ago; has scored over C&D; generally modest form since stakes race success at Durbanville in January; makes limited appeal given many of his rivals are in good form.

A C&D winner; can be a player at this level; split a number of these rivals when fifth beaten 2½l last month; he's worth a go if finding his best form and breaking from ground-saving draw.

Produced a string of consistent efforts; not beaten far over 6f here (Class 5) when little between her and Easy Money (fourth) last month; warrants respect with the ground-saving draw.

Produced a string of consistent efforts and has a course-and-distance record of four wins from 16 starts; solid effort when beaten just over 2l to finish fourth splitting Heritage Ridge, Barney Mcgrew and Gravity last month; shouldn't be too far away with the ground-saving draw and her last run was encouraging.

Not disgraced in eighth when behind four of these rivals last month; doesn't win often; others are preferred as running in what looks to be a hot race.

A winner over C&D; subpar since successful in a maiden at Durbanville in March; last of 11 two months ago at Kenilworth, 12l behind Easy Money; a few rivals look in good form so has some questions to answer.

Finished just behind Ruby Rex when fourth four weeks ago upped to 6f in a Class 5; successful twice in her last five starts; C&D has proven suitable before; facing a testing assignment and passed over.

Scored narrowly at Scottsville, defying lack of previous experience at 9-2 in June; can be in the thick of things.

Verdict
Ruby Rex has run well previously over this C&D, and Turn To The Law, who has few miles on the clock, is a contender. However, BARNEY MCGREW is fancied for this. He may well reverse last-time-out placings with those he reopposes and has proved he can get his head in front.
