Well beaten in the Mercury Sprint (Greyville) in July; record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs career record of 9-24) and won the Grade 2 Golden Horse Sprint in May; Richard Fourie a notable booking; dropping in class now and shouldn't be far away.

Out of the frame (beaten just over 3l in sixth) at Greyville last week; good C&D record but largely disappointing since successful in a Grade 3 at Turffontein in March; not a great record on second run back after a layoff and others have more pressing claims.

Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs career record of 8-33) and likes it here (four wins); gave good account to finish second over 5½f at Vaal (stakes race) four weeks ago; by no means ruled out.

Close up behind Ziyasha when fifth over 5½f at Vaal (stakes race) posting a respectable effort last month.

Loves it here (three wins) and from a powerful yard; finished a decent third of 13 five months ago (Greyville) in a Grade 2; has had some time off; might find this easier.

Producing consistent form and from a powerful trainer; respectable fifth in a Grade 3 (Greyville) in July; has had some time off; leading claims in this lower-class event.

Verdict
SPEEDMAN is a strong fancy. He has winning form in the book and can't be faulted for consistency. Ziyasha has winning C&D form.
