Arrives in winning form after edging out Sendai by a head over 1000m at Vaal, though he was favourite and easing in the market. His previous second behind Dog In The Fog came at the same trip, so the step to 1200m remains the genuine test given he was unplaced at his only previous try around this distance. The big weight drop helps, but he has to prove the last-start win transfers to this stronger setup.

Had little impact when seventh over 1600m in a BM84 at this track last start, beaten just under seven lengths as an outside chance in betting. The stronger reference is his second here two runs back behind Zip Code in Open grade, when beaten a length and a half after market support. Back to 1200m, where he has a win and a placing from two starts, he looks well placed to rebound third-up.

Made a sharp first impression when winning on debut at Turffontein Standside, beating Chancellor by three and a half lengths after being sent out favourite in a MPLTE. He comes into this second-up with weight relief from that 60kg debut assignment and obvious scope, while the R900,000 purchase has already shown he can convert market expectation. This is a deeper test, but he has earned respect.

Comes off a strong BM74 win at Turffontein Standside, beating Major Arcana by just over three lengths after firming near the top of an open market. That backed up his Vaal second to Evening Parade, so the form pattern is solid rather than isolated. He is proven at around 1200m with two wins and three placings from 13 attempts, and that race fitness makes him the runner they all have to catch.

Back after six weeks, he brings honest enough form after finishing fourth in a BM84 at this track, beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds. His previous third in a BM86 here also had merit, even if he was beaten four and a half lengths. With a win and a placing from four previous starts around 1200m, he has the profile of a genuine place chance rather than a dominant winning play.

Resumed at Greyville and finished seventh in a BM82, beaten six lengths at generous odds, so he will have to come forward from that. His earlier third at Vaal in RBH96 grade showed he retains the ability to be competitive when right, and his 1200m record is a genuine positive. The 4kg claim helps at the weights, leaving him as a place prospect if he finds his better form second-up.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing sixth at this track in FM Open grade, beaten just over three lengths, which was a better effort than her prior eighth at Turffontein Standside. Her two wins and one placing from four starts at this track and distance are the clear attraction, but she resumes with recent form that still asks for improvement. Others bring stronger current credentials.

Returns from a lengthy spell after winning an Open at this track, beating Kotinos by a length and a half after firming near the top of an open market. He is one from one at this venue and has two wins from six starts around 1200m, while Calvin Habib and Tony Peter both rate strongly at this track. Freshness is the only reservation, but his proven local form gives him a strong winning case.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing fifth in a BM86 at this track, beaten five lengths over 1000m as an outside chance in betting. His previous fourth here in BM80 grade was fair without threatening, and he was again beaten three and a half lengths. He has won at this venue, but with his only 1200m run unplaced, he must find more to trouble the better chances.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a disappointing sixth at Turffontein Standside, beaten eight lengths as favourite in a BM80. His previous second behind Winter In Auckland reads better, with the margin just over a length, and his 1200m record of one win and two placings from five starts is sound. Even so, he resumes needing to put that last run well behind him against fitter rivals.

Returns from a lengthy spell after breaking through at Vaal, beating Beach Walker by four and a half lengths in a small-field MPLTE. That was a clear step forward from his debut fifth at Turffontein Standside, where the market had found him despite long odds. This is a stronger assignment, but the low-mileage profile, leading stable and 1.5kg claim make him a genuine minor hope.

Back after six weeks, he remains hard to recommend off a sixth in a BM96 at this track, beaten just over five lengths at big odds. The run prior was an 11th at Turffontein Standside where he was unwanted in the market, so the recent profile is plain. He has a long record at 1200m, including three wins, but current form leaves him with plenty to turn around.
