(5)  Garden Sun |  | | | | 2 | K Steyn | P Botha | Well behind the runner-up, Kaiboy, here at 125-1 when last of seven on his debut; could improve from first run although a leap forward required to win this | ||
(7)  Mitredat | | | | | 2 | M Mjoka | L Gila | Running in first race; out of a winning dam; probably best watched | ||
(9)  Captain Fury | | | | | 2 | C Bantam | P P Kruyer | Early foal; dam was a race winner; market may guide | ||
| (15) Global Rock | | | | | 2 | D Ashby | P P Kruyer | Early foal; dam had winning form; interesting to see how he figures in the betting | ||
(4)  Brooksider | | | | | 2 | A Arries | V H Marshall | Some way behind the fourth, Worldly, (maiden juvenile plate) here when 12l last of nine in February; first-time blinkers fitted | ||
(3)  Dashing Home | | | | | 2 | M Winnaar | D A McLachlan | Dam did get her head in front; passed over unless attracting strong support | ||
(11)  Red Dawn | | | | | 2 | G Wright | C Bass-Robinson | Early foal; dam did get her head in front; stable can ready one; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise | ||
(13)  Konnichiwa | | | | | 2 | O Noach | R Maingard | September foal; dam was a race winner; hard to fancy unless market points the other way | ||
| (10) Flying Bomb | | | | | 2 | B R Fayd'Herbe | D A McLachlan | Dam had winning form; needs market confidence to make him of interest | ||
(2)  Joueur De Flute | | | | | 2 | C Orffer | A E Sands | Dam was a race winner; makes competitive race debut; interesting to see how he figures in the betting | ||
2nd (16)  Bagatelle Flash | | | | | 2 | C Zackey | A E Sands | Soundly beaten when seventh in a maiden juvenile plate latest here over 6f; likely to be thereabouts now that he knows a little more | ||
(12)  Landoftherisingsun | | | | | 2 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Out of a winning dam; stable gets plenty of debutant winners; early foal; can only be watched | ||
(6)  Krim | | | | | 2 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Early foal; stable gets plenty of debutant winners; can only be watched | ||
3rd (1)  Worldly | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | G S Kotzen | Never landed a blow on his debut when fourth of nine over 5½f (20-1) in February; more scope for improvement than most of these; should not be far away | ||
(8)  Powerandtheglory | | | | | 2 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Yard has a good record with newcomers; out of a dam who was a race winner; probably best watched | ||
1st (14)  Kaiboy | | | | | 2 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Went down by 2l when second at the first time of asking at 16-1 (over 5½f here); it's early days and entitled to respect |
If excusing their latest efforts, Bagatelle Flash and Brooksider enter calculations while Worldly is expected to take a forward step. But preference is for KAIBOY who is taken to go one better than his debut second.

(2)  A Bit Chilly | | | | | 2 | C Zackey | D Kannemeyer | Held on his debut in course maiden juvenile plate over this trip (80-1) two months ago when 13l behind Talk To The Master | ||
(3)  Home Reef | | | | | 2 | M Mjoka | G S Kotzen | Yard among the winners with newcomers in recent seasons; racing education begins here; market could reveal prospects against experienced rivals | ||
(5)  Western World | | | | | 2 | O Noach | V H Marshall | Trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; dam was a race winner; worth a look in the market but passed over otherwise this early in his career | ||
(6)  Nordic Prince | | | | | 2 | C Bantam | G S Kotzen | Finished eighth of nine on his debut in February (at Kenilworth over 5f, 25-1) | ||
3rd (8)  Billy Cool | | | | | 2 | A Domeyer | R Maingard | Was seventh of nine on his debut two months ago (over 5f here) at 25-1 | ||
(4)  All Is Green | | | | | 2 | G Van Niekerk | G W Ennion | Well held third of seven in a juvenile plate here 18 days ago; not discounted if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back | ||
(1)  El Capitan | | | | | 2 | R Fourie | G Van Zyl (jnr) | Solid performance to finish third at 50-1 over C&D two months ago, 4½l behind Talk To The Master; must go on the shortlist with experience under his belt | ||
(9)  Decree | | | | | 2 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Trainer can have first-time-out winners, especially over this trip; dam did get her head in front; likely best watched as might just be better for the run | ||
2nd (10)  Miss World | | | | | 2 | C Orffer | G W Ennion | CD winner including when successful by 1½l last month; must be respected | ||
1st (7)  Talk To The Master | | | | | 2 | B R Fayd'Herbe | V H Marshall | CD winner including when successful by just over 2l two months ago; progressing well; chance |
It looks like an opportunity for MISS WORLD who bids for a second CD success. However, this looks a competitive race; Talk To The Master will not be without market support, while El Capitan should be on the shortlist.

(8)  House Of Sussex | | | | | 3 | O Noach | V H Marshall | Comfortably held in sixth in a maiden plate (C&D) last month; hard to recommend as the headgear needs to prompt improvement | ||
| (3) King Of The Seas | | | | | 3 | K Steyn | P Botha | Comfortably beaten into seventh in a maiden plate in August (Turffontein Standside); starts out for new yard; back from a break; makes limited appeal | ||
(6)  La Pulga | | | | | 2 | G Wright | C Bass-Robinson | Trainer more than capable of getting one ready first time out; early foal; dam a winner; inexperience a possible drawback so a watching brief the best policy | ||
(1)  Gimme's Captain | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Towards the rear of 20 in a maiden plate three months ago here (6f); hard to recommend | ||
(4)  Rattlesnake | | | | | 2 | M Winnaar | C Bass-Robinson | Was fourth of seven on his debut at 33-1 (over 5½f here); receives weight-for-age allowance | ||
2nd (5)  Maneki Neko | | | | | 3 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Out of the frame beaten 5l (went off 5-2) latest here; ought to be competitive | ||
| (2) Approach Shot | | | | | 3 | C Orffer | P Botha | Not beaten too far when runner-up in a maiden plate (over 6f here) two weeks ago; should be on the premises as stable is operating at a good strike-rate (3-10 over the past two weeks) | ||
1st (7)  Connery | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | G S Kotzen | Gave good account (over 6f here) latest; if stepping up from most recent effort is a very interesting runner |
CONNERY is the pick of these while Approach Shot looks an obvious danger.

(3)  Black Hole Sun | | | | | 5 | D Ashby | P D Wrensch | Finished last of nine here over 7f 18 days ago; attempts to score at the 13th time of asking; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role | ||
(15)  Only Red | | | | | 3 | J Solomons | L Gila | Finished last of nine running for the second time for this trainer last month here; something to find with Spirit Guide (last) on that performance; she looks up against it | ||
(4)  Greedanddesire | | | | | 3 | O Noach | P Steyn | Safely held in eighth (this distance Durbanville, fillies maiden plate) in September; returns from break; passed over | ||
(5)  Chakpori | | | | | 2 | C Bantam | Y Singh | Seemed to find life tough (beaten 11l into 11th) over this distance here (fillies maiden juvenile plate) last month; gets an age allowance; makes debut for stable; hard to entertain | ||
| (2) Becky Sharp | | | | | 3 | A Arries | V H Marshall | Was towards the rear of 14 on her debut over this distance (66-1) in January; should improve with a run under her belt although it was only a modest start | ||
(9)  Opera Verse | | | | | 3 | K Steyn | G W Ennion | Comfortably held in eighth over C&D last month; easily dismissed | ||
(13)  Shout At The Moon | | | | | 3 | X Carstens | A D Steyn | Far from disgraced (beaten just under 3l) over C&D (open race) last month; opposable | ||
| 1st (1) A Thousand Kisses | | | | | 3 | L Gila | Was sixth of nine, beaten 5½l, (this distance Kenilworth, open race) last month | |||
(12)  Stealingthethunder | | | | | 3 | G Wright | B Crawford | Not disgraced when ninth (open race, over 7f here) latest; can figure | ||
(14)  Jet Green | | | | | 3 | M Mjoka | L Gila | Long-standing maiden; not disgraced when eighth (open race, over 7f here) 35 days ago | ||
(8)  Future Star | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Durbanville (beaten 3½l at 5-1) in an open race in September; returns from break; should be thereabouts | ||
(16)  Cotonou | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | L V Woodruff | Not disgraced when seventh over C&D (open race) latest; needs to be respected | ||
(10)  True Horizon | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | A N Marcus | Yet to win after nine starts; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 3½l at 9-2) in an open race last month; may be involved | ||
(6)  Spirit Guide | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | D Kannemeyer | Solid effort in defeat to finish third after going off 20-1 (over 5½f here) last month; form given substance by next-time-out winner; ought to be on the premises | ||
| 3rd (7) Rocking Peonie | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | G W Ennion | Long-term maiden (0-9); solid run when sixth in an open race last month here (7f); the fifth won since; in first-time blinkers now; she can make a bold bid as has shown signs of promise | ||
| 2nd (11) Charlene | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Has been competitive despite being a seven-race maiden; ran encouragingly when just under 2l third in January here (7f); if stepping up from most recent effort likely to be a leading contender |
CHARLENE is a confident pick. She is unexposed with scope to progress. Rocking Peonie and True Horizon are perhaps looking exposed.

(2)  Miss Lemonade | | | | | 3 | M Mjoka | L Gila | Tenth attempt to break her duck; well held when fifth over C&D 25 days ago (open race) on her second outing for this trainer; is passed over | ||
(1)  Daisy Duke | | | | | 4 | J Solomons | L Gila | Losing run totals ten; held in seventh last month here (5½f) on her second outing for this trainer; this looks a tough ask | ||
(3)  Greenlight Express | | | | | 2 | G Wright | G Van Zyl (jnr) | Held on his debut in February running here over 5½f at 20-1; receives age allowance | ||
| (6) Rogue Male | | | | | 5 | C Zackey | P D Wrensch | 23rd attempt to break his duck; well behind Cosmic Rhythm (fourth) finishing tenth of 12 stepped up to 7f six weeks ago | ||
(9)  Torres | | | | | 2 | O Noach | V H Marshall | Comfortably held in fifth over C&D two weeks ago; receives weight-for-age allowance; others appeal more | ||
2nd (8)  King Viserys | | | | | 3 | K Steyn | P Botha | Yet to win after 12 starts and out of sorts recently; finished seventh, beaten a fair way over C&D 25 days ago (open race); no blinkers this time; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role | ||
| 1st (7) Stars In Heaven | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | G Van Zyl (jnr) | Well held seventh of 11 over C&D last month; has posted some fair efforts in defeat and shortlisted | ||
(4)  Twentytwentyvision | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Was sixth of 12, beaten 6l, over C&D in December; if drawing a line through his last run, he would be make some appeal after his third at Durbanville in November; looks interesting | ||
3rd (5)  Einstein | | | | | 3 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Well-beaten third here over 5f last month; has to be considered | ||
(10)  Cosmic Rhythm | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | H/m Crawford/rix | Finished fourth dropped to 7f last month; race has produced a next-time-out winner; was an encouraging third three races ago and if in the same mood in with big shout |
Despite not running well last time out, Twentytwentyvision and Stars In Heaven are worth considering, and Einstein is likely to attract market support. However, COSMIC RHYTHM is strongly fancied to come out on top. He didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since).

| (6) Dymondia | | | | | 3 | J Solomons | L Gila | Well beaten eighth of nine (open race) here two weeks ago; not an obvious one | ||
(7)  Milliondollar Girl | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | P Steyn | Couldn't land a blow when eighth of 11 (this distance Kenilworth, fillies maiden plate) last month; tenth attempt to get off the mark; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role | ||
| (9) Snow In Love | | | | | 3 | G Wright | B Crawford | Finished ninth, beaten 15l, five months ago (Durbanville); back from a layoff; looks a tall order | ||
| (2) Gold Jet | | | | | 3 | M Mjoka | L Gila | Behind two of these 18 days ago when last here (open race) on her first start for this trainer; not easy to fancy | ||
(8)  Wehaveasituation | | | | | 3 | O Noach | P P Kruyer | Finished seventh of ten (just behind Blind Faith and La Pequenita, open race) here last month; stamina to prove at this trip so not easy to fancy | ||
(5)  La Pequenita | | | | | 3 | D Ashby | H/m Crawford/rix | Finished third dropped back to 7f in an open race last month, that form nicely boosted | ||
(4)  Blind Faith | | | | | 5 | C Bantam | A D Steyn | Second was a good effort in an open race here last month, finishing ahead of next-time-out winner Ice Rain; likely to be in contention if building on promise shown last time | ||
| 3rd (10) National Disgrace | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Respectable effort (beaten 2l) over C&D last month from a poor draw; form given substance by next-time-out winner; has shown signs of promise here and there and should not be far away | ||
(11)  Saint Brigid | | | | | 3 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Runner-up was a good effort over C&D 28 days ago; that form advertised by the first; seems to be improving based on last two runs; easy to see her making an impression if confirming promise shown last time | ||
1st (1)  Green Isle | | | | | 3 | C Zackey | A E Sands | Produced a good effort to finish third (this distance Kenilworth, fillies maiden plate) last month, the first won since; likely to take plenty of beating if confirming promise shown last time | ||
| 2nd (3) Sansa Stark | | | | | 3 | R Fourie | P Botha | Went down by 1½l when second in an open race (over 1m1f here) two weeks ago with two of these rivals behind; if stepping up from most recent effort she should give it a bold bid |
GREEN ISLE rates a strong tip. She didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since). Saint Brigid will not be without market support.

(1)  Captain Fontane | | | | | 6 | C Zackey | V H Marshall | Healthy career strike-rate; not beaten that far (just over 3l, went off 14-1) here two months ago in a Listed race; this represents a step up in class so others more persuasive | ||
3rd (6)  Questioning | | | | | 3 | A Arries | V H Marshall | Not beaten that far (just over 4l, went off 28-10) here over 7f two months ago; with more on his plate easy enough to take on | ||
(10)  Cafe Culture | | | | | 4 | J P v'd Merwe | L V Woodruff | Solid career strike-rate and has produced a string of consistent efforts of late; favourite when second last month here (7f) in what looked an up-to-scratch stakes race; looks likely to go well despite being up in class | ||
(5)  Jerusalema Rain | | | | | 3 | G Wright | C Bass-Robinson | A good career strike-rate; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (3½l) last month here; no blinkers this time; is passed over as faces a stiffer task | ||
(9)  Red Palace | | | | | 3 | O Noach | C Bass-Robinson | Well held in the Grade 1 Majorca Stakes (over 1m here) in January; ran well when fourth in the fillies Grade 1 Paddock Stakes recently and in good form prior to backwards step last time out; down in class this time but makes little appeal | ||
| (3) Gold Poker Game | | | | | 4 | J Solomons | C Bass-Robinson | Was on the premises (finished second of nine, over 1m here) when little between her and Captain Fontane (sixth) two months ago in what looked a strong Listed race; good career strike-rate; should figure despite being up in class | ||
(2)  Rio Querari | | | | | 7 | B R Fayd'Herbe | J S Snaith | A number of wins on straight tracks but a long time since his last win; 1½l behind the winner, Dance Variety, (over 5½f here) two weeks ago; facing a tougher assignment than 18 days ago, not one to rely on | ||
(8)  Dance Variety | | | | | 4 | C Orffer | A N Marcus | Knows this place inside out (four course wins) and a number of wins on straight tracks; scored narrowly in a sprint race here (5½f) 18 days ago getting the better of Rio Querari; he's an attractive contender despite this step up in class | ||
(4)  Countdown | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | G S Kotzen | Gained narrow success in a Listed race at Fairview last month in a warm race; up in class but likely to be involved | ||
| 1st (11) Winter Cloud | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | C Bass-Robinson | Scored by a slim margin in a stakes race in a competitive contest five weeks ago (over 5f here), form subsequently boosted by the second; loves it here (three wins) and a number of wins on straight tracks; needs considering despite moving up in class | ||
2nd (7)  October Morn | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | C Bass-Robinson | A prolific winner during her career; second here when favourite two months ago; she shouldn't be far away |
This can go to OCTOBER MORN who is taken to regain the winning thread against these rivals and has won over this CD. However, it's a tricky race to be too confident about; Gold Poker Game certainly isn't out of it, while Dance Variety should be in the mix.

(4)  Mojo Man | | | | | 3 | A Arries | V H Marshall | Couldn't land a blow when ninth of 13 in a stakes race in February (over 6f here); not hard to turn elsewhere | ||
(8)  Rod The Mod | | | | | 5 | D Ashby | P D Reeves | Finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (just under 5l) over C&D (stakes race) last month; all four wins have come over this trip | ||
(5)  Escarpment | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | P Botha | Towards the rear of 13 in a stakes race last month over C&D; hard to make a case for him | ||
(1)  Franz Lehar | | | | | 4 | L Mxothwa | V H Marshall | Nothing wrong with his last effort, second, beaten 2½l, (Scottsville) last February; not had much racing; starts out for new yard; has a long absence to overcome | ||
(7)  Tough Terrain | | | | | 4 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Respectable fourth (over 5½f here) two weeks ago; G Van Niekerk will be looking to further his good record aboard this horse; is a player | ||
(3)  Piroshka | | | | | 4 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Beaten narrowly when fourth in the betting over C&D (stakes race) 28 days ago behind The Abdicator; hasn't won for a while; if stepping up from most recent effort likely to be thereabouts | ||
| 2nd (2) Icy Blast | | | | | 3 | B R Fayd'Herbe | V H Marshall | Far from disgraced (beaten just over 2l, stakes race) in January here | ||
1st (6)  Nordic Chief | | | | | 3 | A Andrews | W A Nel | Not beaten far (this trip Kenilworth, stakes race) last month, the second and third franked the form since; poses a threat | ||
3rd (9)  The Abdicator | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | B Crawford | In great form recently; claimed third CD win last time when successful at 72-100; likely to be a leading contender |
Tough Terrain should be on the shortlist while Nordic Chief should put up plenty of resistance. But THE ABDICATOR is a confident pick. He finished ahead of Piroshka and Rod The Mod last month and has won over this CD.

(8)  Shavout | | | | | 6 | A Arries | V H Marshall | A long time since his last win; last of 15 in an open race (C&D) in November; back from a break; hard enough to fancy | ||
(5)  Naushon | | | | | 5 | O Noach | V H Marshall | Despite a poor last run, he had been running well previously; finished last of 14 in an open race over C&D two months ago; may be vulnerable | ||
(1)  Augusta Blue | | | | | 4 | G Wright | A N Marcus | Achieved only a sole win; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just over 4l at 33-1, open race) two weeks ago; unlikely to trouble the principals | ||
| (4) Faire Advantage | | | | | 5 | C Orffer | W A Nel | No wins at this distance and on a long losing run; didn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten 4l at 8-1) in an open race latest, chasing home a next-time-out winner; blinkers reapplied; others make more appeal | ||
| (10) Unicorn Alert | | | | | 3 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Producing consistent form; ran well to finish runner-up (beaten just under 2l, this distance Kenilworth, open race) last month, form franked by the third; rates a likely contender | ||
| 1st (12) All About Ronnie | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | D A McLachlan | Not beaten that far (just over 3l, went off 10-1) in an open race here (7f) two weeks ago; rates a likely contender | ||
2nd (11)  Big Unit | | | | | 3 | L Mxothwa | B Crawford | Fair effort when beaten 2½l in an open race (over 7f here) 14 days ago with two of these rivals behind; should go well | ||
| (7) Moonacres | | | | | 3 | G Van Niekerk | J S Snaith | Scored by just under 2l (open race) last month, breaking his duck here over 7f; a likely player | ||
(3)  Carriacou | | | | | 4 | C Zackey | A E Sands | Creditable fourth last month here; you have to go back a long way to find his only win; one to be interested in as has shown signs of promise | ||
| (9) Le Legionnaire | | | | | 3 | B R Fayd'Herbe | D A McLachlan | Claimed a first CD win last month when successful by just under 2l | ||
3rd (2)  Fly Futura | | | | | 3 | A Domeyer | C Bass-Robinson | Produced a good effort to finish third (over 1m2f here) latest; has to be considered |
This is not a race for maximum stakes but FLY FUTURA is the one to keep on side. He is a course winner. Carriacou is possibly starting to look exposed, All About Ronnie is capable of running well, and the otherwise interesting Big Unit has a stamina query to answer at this trip.

| (9) Gold Index | | | | | 4 | D Ashby | L Gila | Just a sole success to his name; last of nine (this trip, here, open race) 35 days ago on his second start for this trainer; something to find with Liketheclappers (second) on that performance; he's hard to fancy | ||

(1)  Morning Chess | | | | | 3 | M Winnaar | L Gila | Some way behind the fourth, Kebonalesedi, in an open race (C&D) when beaten 7l (seventh of 13) last month; sole career win came on all-weather; can be taken on | ||

2nd (4)  Hang Out The Stars | | | | | 4 | R Fourie | J M T Stewart | Beaten 3½l when sixth of ten but didn't run badly at 2-1 over C&D latest; likely to be in contention | ||
(7)  Kelp Forest | | | | | 4 | A Domeyer | A N Marcus | Not beaten that far (5l, went off 7-1, open race) 25 days ago (over 6f here); in the mix if replicating form of his win at Kenilworth four months ago | ||
(2)  Liketheclappers | | | | | 5 | J P v'd Merwe | J S Snaith | Ran well to finish runner-up (beaten just over 2l) over this distance here (open race) last month, race has produced two next-time-out winners; can figure | ||
| 1st (5) Kebonalesedi | | | | | 4 | C Zackey | A E Sands | Not disgraced when fourth (this trip Kenilworth, open race) last month; capable of making an impact if reproducing the form of his win at Kenilworth in February | ||
(8)  World Of Pleasure | | | | | 2 | B R Fayd'Herbe | V H Marshall | CD winner including when successful by 3½l six weeks ago; gets an age allowance; big run looks on the cards |
Kebonalesedi should put up plenty of resistance while Lady Loxton is considered although might not get the trip. But WORLD OF PLEASURE is a firm choice. He has won once over this CD.
