2nd (5)  Kiss Of Fire |  | | | | 4 | R Danielson | P P Labuschagne | Was held in eighth in a fillies maiden plate (Vaal Classic) two weeks ago | ||
(6)  Angel Wings | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | C Spies | Unable to land a blow in seventh in a fillies maiden plate 38 days ago at Greyville Polytrack; hard to make a case for her as stamina to prove at this trip | ||
(7)  Slanj A Va | | | | | 3 | J R Syster | P P Labuschagne | Well beaten behind the third, Arctic Vixen, in a fillies maiden plate at Vaal upped to 1m½f when beaten a fair way (8l) four weeks ago in blinkers for the first time; unlikely to make any impact | ||
(3)  Silky Jet | | | | | 3 | K J Lihaba | W H Marwing | Found life tough when 13l back in fifth in a fillies maiden plate over this trip at Vaal last month | ||
(4)  Lady Greensleeves | | | | | 4 | S Sosibo | S G Tarry | A close third (fillies maiden plate) latest here (6f); without a win after 19 attempts; has to be respected on the pick of her form | ||
(2)  Arctic Vixen | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | F P Habib | Third of nine (fillies maiden plate) at Vaal four weeks ago; should not be far away if building on last performance | ||
3rd (8)  The Crown | | | | | 3 | K A Brewer | A G Laird | Ran respectably on her debut at Turffontein Standside at 8-1; if building on promise shown first time out looks like a player | ||
(10)  Queen Of Love | | | | | 2 | G Lerena | R R Magner | Missed out by a head on her debut two months ago at Turffontein Standside at 25-2; gets an age allowance; difficult to oppose if confirming promise shown first time up | ||
1st (1)  Volare E Mambo | | | | | 3 | M V'Rensburg | M F De Kock | Shade disappointing to finish runner-up when favourite in a fillies maiden plate (Turffontein Standside) latest; ought to give it a shot | ||
(9)  Gloria Mundi | | | | | 2 | S Khumalo | C Spies | Finished last of nine in a fillies maiden plate stepped up to 7f (Vaal Classic) 16 days ago; receives age allowance; passed over |
Arctic Vixen is one to consider, and Volare E Mambo will attract market support. However, QUEEN OF LOVE is fancied for this. She has strong claims after filling the runners-up spot on her debut at Turffontein Standside two months ago.

2nd (9)  American Rebel | | | | | 3 | P Mxoli | W C Marwing | Safely held in sixth in a maiden plate last month here over 7f; very difficult to fancy | ||
| (10) Master Forester | | | | | 2 | T Mayhew | R R Magner | Last of six at Vaal Classic in January; receives weight-for-age allowance; not likely to get competitive | ||
(5)  Viva La Victor | | | | | 3 | S Sosibo | S G Tarry | Well beaten when eighth in a maiden plate here over 7f last month; may have to settle for supporting role | ||
3rd (4)  Breath Of Magic | | | | | 3 | C Maujean | F Bronkhorst | Been running well of late; solid performance in defeat when favourite in a maiden plate (Vaal) last Thursday; if stepping up from most recent effort should not be far away | ||
(8)  Master Tik Tok | | | | | 4 | M Yeni | P F Matchett | Disappointing effort from good draw (maiden plate) five weeks ago when leaving backers at 5-2 frustrated at Scottsville | ||
(6)  Erimitage | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | M/a Azzie | Was on the premises (third, beaten 1l) in a maiden plate at Vaal on Wednesday; should be thereabouts | ||
(7)  Main Mission | | | | | 4 | R Danielson | R R Magner | Has not had much racing and shown recent signs of improvement; was a close runner-up in a maiden plate upped to 1m4f 483 days ago (Turffontein Standside); been off the track a long time | ||
(3)  Monte Bello | | | | | 3 | K Matsunyane | B Crawford | Well drawn over C&D (maiden plate) two months ago when beaten 7l (sixth of nine); expected to be in the thick of things as he finished third at Turffontein Standside in February | ||
(2)  Deception Pass | | | | | 3 | M K Katjedi | M/a Azzie | Finished runner-up dropped to 7f in a maiden plate when only just held (14-10, Vaal) on Wednesday; needs considering | ||
(11)  Sakurajima | | | | | 2 | C Habib | S T Pettigrew | Well held finishing runner-up on his debut here (25-1); in receipt of an age allowance; deserves respect | ||
1st (1)  Mastership | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | D N Stenger | Has been competitive despite being a seven-race maiden; nothing wrong with his last effort, second, beaten 2l, in a maiden plate at Turffontein Standside four weeks ago; if stepping up from most recent effort possesses leading claims |
MASTERSHIP is a strong pick. He is open to improvement. Erimitage rates a serious contender while Deception Pass is one to consider, and Monte Bello needs to bounce back from a below-par run.

(6)  Angelofthemorning | | | | | 5 | J R Syster | H Van Der Westhuizen | Not been able to make much of an impact in handicaps recently; finished last of eight over C&D 30 days ago when behind two of these; little chance despite this looking a little easier than last time | ||
(5)  Go Dream Machine | | | | | 5 | N Nastili | D Nieuwenhuizen | Upped to this distance finishing 8l behind the winner last month; a while since she has been in the winners' enclosure and no winning form at this trip; dropping in the weights; this is a step down in class although looks an unlikely winner | ||
(4)  Martinique | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | R R Magner | Finished ahead of two of these rivals stepped up to this trip last month when 20-1 fourth of eight; now competing off a lower mark; down in class and wouldn't rule out a big run | ||
2nd (3)  Angel's Wish | | | | | 5 | K J Lihaba | W H Marwing | Finished seventh dropped back to 1m at Vaal last month; has won here before but largely disappointing since successful in a fillies handicap at Vaal Classic 12 months ago; has been dropped by the handicapper; makes limited appeal despite dropping in class | ||
| (2) Gilda Gray | | | | | 5 | S Khumalo | F Bronkhorst | Beaten narrowly at 10-1 (Vaal Classic) two weeks ago; has won previously at this course and better than this level in her prime | ||
1st (1)  A Place In The Sun | | | | | 4 | P Strydom | B Crawford | Beaten narrowly when third favourite last month here over 1m1f; has won previously at this course; strong claims in this lower-class event |
Martinique is considered although might not get the trip while the best days are in the past now for Gilda Gray. But A PLACE IN THE SUN should find this very winnable. She has won here once before.

(8)  Lorna Lilly | | | | | 4 | N Klink | J Borman | Tenth beaten 6l 16 days ago at Vaal Classic upped to 1m1f; a long time since her last success; has been dropped in the weights; this is a step down in class although may be vulnerable | ||
(9)  Bushveld | | | | | 4 | M K Katjedi | F P Habib | Just a sole success to her name; towards the rear beaten 28l in a fillies handicap at Vaal latest; no easy task | ||
(4)  Canford Rose | | | | | 3 | D Schwarz | R R Sage | Towards the rear of 13 four months ago at Kenilworth (wore blinkers); has won previously at this course; returns from a layoff; first start for current yard; looks no easy task | ||
(2)  Play With Fire | | | | | 3 | K J Lihaba | F Bronkhorst | Recorded sole career win when competing on all-weather; lost her maiden tag in a fillies handicap at Greyville Polytrack five weeks ago, getting the job done by just over 1l; this just her second run in a handicap; should give it a good shot; stable form an obvious plus | ||
(7)  Free In Seattle | | | | | 2 | C Habib | S J Gray | Finished seventh but wasn't beaten too far (just over 3l) in a fillies handicap at Vaal on Wednesday; receives age allowance; this just her second run in a handicap | ||
| 2nd (3) Springer | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | R R Magner | Opened account scoring narrowly at Vaal four weeks ago in what looked an up-to-scratch fillies maiden plate; first attempt at a handicap; competitive shout | ||
| (5) Zenobia's Gold | | | | | 3 | K Matsunyane | S G Tarry | Scored narrowly in a fillies maiden plate four weeks ago when getting off the mark at Turffontein Standside; first attempt at a handicap; competitive shout | ||
1st (6)  Solo Diva | | | | | 4 | P Mxoli | T Zackey | No impression when seventh (fillies handicap, Turffontein Standside) last week; previous run was disappointing, but finished third two starts back; expected to be in the thick of things | ||
3rd (1)  Mighty Goddess | | | | | 4 | M Yeni | W C Marwing | Left punters frustrated after going off second favourite in a fillies handicap (Vaal Classic) two months ago; is respected |
A wide-open contest but SPRINGER is up to landing this. Zenobia's Gold is considered although might not get the trip, and Mighty Goddess is one to be feared.

3rd (11)  Full Go | | | | | 5 | J R Syster | B B Ruiters | Not disgraced when third at 100-1 (handicap) 51 days ago here over 7f | ||
(10)  Can't Catch Me | | | | | 4 | K A Brewer | B Webber | Her only win was on all-weather; solid run when seventh at Vaal Classic last week; handicapper easing the burden; only female in race; this represents a step up in class so looks opposable | ||
(8)  Hakas Krakas | | | | | 4 | K Matsunyane | B Crawford | Fair effort (beaten 1l) over this trip at Vaal Classic (handicap) Copper John just behind 16 days ago; been eased in the ratings by the assessor; others perhaps more persuasive | ||
2nd (3)  Royal Mazarin | | | | | 6 | M Yeni | J A Soma | Has won here before and all wins have come going right handed; sent off 91-100 and achieved a fair standard last month when third (handicap) here; easy to see him making an impression | ||
(2)  Futurewolff | | | | | 4 | N Nastili | H E Adamson | Third, beaten just over 3l, in a handicap here last month (second outing for yard); form given substance by subsequent winner; has won here before | ||
(6)  Copper John | | | | | 3 | D De Gouveia | A G Laird | Favourite but out of the money in a handicap (Vaal Classic) two weeks ago; is easing down the weights; others have more pressing claims | ||
1st (9)  Thambi | | | | | 4 | S Khumalo | L Karriem | Not disgraced when fourth with blinkers reapplied at Vaal last Thursday (handicap); you have to go back a long way to find his only win but has won here; is easing down the weights; reunited with S Khumalo | ||
(4)  Ryan's Dream | | | | | 4 | M V'Rensburg | M/a Azzie | A long time since he saw any reward for his efforts; upped to 1m2f in a handicap 37 days ago here putting in a solid effort to finish runner-up | ||
(1)  To The Rescue | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | S G Tarry | Solid effort (handicap) latest (Turffontein Standside); running in a handicap for just the second time; down in grade; has to be respected | ||
| (7) Holocene | | | | | 3 | P Strydom | M F De Kock | Brings good recent course form to the table and good efforts in defeat of late; finished third dropped back to 7f in a handicap (Vaal Classic) last week; should get involved now down in grade | ||
(5)  Safe Space | | | | | 4 | C Habib | A P Peter | Upped to 1m1½f in a handicap at Greyville Polytrack when 3½l second 53 days ago; makes his debut for new trainer; blinkers been left off; should prove competitive |
It's quite an open contest but TO THE RESCUE could be the one to side with. With low mileage he may be capable of showing improvement and has won over this trip before. Holocene should put up plenty of resistance.

(7)  Clarkson | | | | | 6 | D Schwarz | R R Sage | Has run his best races on right-handed tracks but hasn't won for a while; well held 12th of 19 in a handicap latest on first run for current trainer (Vaal) when dropped to 7f; competes off a lower mark; not easy to fancy as has more on his plate in this | ||
| (12) Prince Of Kildare | | | | | 3 | J R Syster | B B Ruiters | Has winning form at this course; was thereabouts (runner-up of 11, 50-1) in a handicap latest here; off a higher mark; makes limited appeal as has more on his plate in this | ||
(9)  Dungeons | | | | | 4 | K Matsunyane | R R Magner | Has won here; finished sixth, beaten 9l, in a handicap at Turffontein Standside three months ago; can be taken on | ||

(10)  Little Prince | | | | | 5 | N Nastili | F P Habib | Has won here before but no wins at this distance; finished ninth of 12 (this trip Vaal Classic, handicap) on New Year's Day; with more on his plate others more appealing | ||
(11)  Silvano's Song | | | | | 4 | P Mxoli | S T Pettigrew | Just a sole success to his name; finished ninth dropped back to 7½f in a handicap (Vaal) when beaten just over 4l latest; this represents a step up in class so unlikely to do better than a supporting role | ||
(1)  Supreme Dance | | | | | 6 | D De Gouveia | B Warren | Respectable effort in defeat latest in front of La Moohal here (1m½f) | ||
(4)  La Moohal | | | | | 3 | P Strydom | M F De Kock | Not disgraced when fifth here last month; has won here; ought to be on the premises | ||
(8)  Officer In Command | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | M F De Kock | Narrow success in a handicap latest (over 1m here), breaking his duck (form has been franked); his official mark has been hit but this just his second run in a handicap; warrants respect despite this step up in class | ||
1st (6)  Judgement Day | | | | | 3 | C Habib | A P Peter | Claimed a first CD win last month when successful by a short head; out to complete the hat-trick; handicapper applies the brakes but this just his second run in a handicap; has to be feared despite being up in class | ||
2nd (3)  Jordan | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | S G Tarry | Decent effort when 20-1 runner-up at Turffontein Standside upped to 1m2f last month in what looked a warm handicap; he should go close despite being up in class |
JUDGEMENT DAY is a confident pick. He has won once over this CD. This distance might be a bit far for Jordan, Officer In Command and La Moohal.

(7)  Trident King | | | | | 5 | G Lerena | A Ndzilana | Has won here before but has looked regressive of late; finished last of ten (Turffontein Standside) in December; returns from break; record when fresh is not entirely persuasive and others more appealing | ||
(1)  Winter Stories | | | | | 6 | D Schwarz | F P Habib | Last of ten (this trip, Turffontein Standside, stakes race) two months ago; work to do with Brave Viking (fifth) on that effort; a long time since his last win; tough to make a case | ||
(3)  Another Level | | | | | 5 | P Mxoli | C Dawson | Has won here; well behind Tizona (ninth, Turffontein Standside) six weeks ago when last of ten; hard enough to fancy | ||
3rd (5)  Emporium | | | | | 3 | K Matsunyane | P F Matchett | Could not manage better than fourth at Turffontein Standside latest; has won here; others are preferred | ||
(4)  Kyomai | | | | | 3 | M K Katjedi | A P Peter | Last of ten in a handicap running over this distance five months ago at Turffontein Standside; this only his second start in handicap company; back from a break; this represents a step up in class so has questions to answer | ||
(6)  Sea Anemone | | | | | 4 | R Danielson | M F De Kock | Has won here before; last of ten (at Turffontein Standside over this distance) last Saturday; she takes on the boys here | ||
(9)  Tizona | | | | | 5 | C Maujean | A P Peter | Generally modest form since handicap success at Vaal Classic 12 months ago but all three of his wins have come over this distance; well held fourth of ten latest at Turffontein Standside; has shown signs of promise here and there and likely to be involved | ||
(10)  Mardi Gras | | | | | 9 | N Nastili | F P Habib | Potentially on a good mark and has winning form at this course; not beaten far with blinkers reapplied last month (Vaal, handicap); competing off a higher mark; if stepping up from most recent effort is a player | ||
2nd (8)  Brave Viking | | | | | 4 | M Yeni | J A Soma | Didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Turffontein Standside (beaten just under 5l at 10-1) running over this distance two months ago; has won here in the past; should go well if replicating best efforts | ||
1st (2)  Money Heist | | | | | 4 | C Habib | A P Peter | Last of eight (Kenilworth, this distance, progress plate) two months ago; headgear now discarded; makes debut for trainer | ||
(11)  Champion Warrior | | | | | 4 | S Khumalo | S G Tarry | Upped to 1m in a handicap when close second at 7-1 here 51 days ago; on a long losing run but on a good mark based on best form; now off a higher mark; if stepping up from most recent effort capable of going well |
This is quite an evenly matched field but CHAMPION WARRIOR gets the nod. Brave Viking is a major threat, and Tizona has been hitting the crossbar.

| (6) Rani Of Kittur | | | | | 3 | R Danielson | R R Magner | Behind two of these rivals four weeks ago when last at Turffontein Standside (fillies handicap) over this trip; running in a handicap for only the second time and edging down the ratings; is passed over | ||

1st (2)  Ice Star | | | | | 3 | G Lerena | F P Habib | On a lengthy losing run; finished in front of two of these (this distance Turffontein Standside, fillies handicap) last month when beaten 1½l to finish runner-up; if stepping up from most recent effort has a great chance | ||
3rd (7)  Amber Rock | | | | | 3 | M Yeni | M/a Azzie | Narrow winner (SP 28-10) of a handicap at Vaal Classic two weeks ago; now competes off a higher mark; down in class and is respected |
Amber Rock looks a serious threat while Women Of Fame has won over course and distance. But ICE STAR is hard to get away from. She is expected to confirm placings after she got the better of Global Thunder and Rani Of Kittur 28 days ago.

(12)  Miraculous Man | | | | | 4 | M K Katjedi | G J Maroun | Last of eight in a handicap last month on debut outing for new trainer (Vaal); this only his second handicap start; facing a tougher assignment this time, unlikely to trouble the principals | ||
(9)  Mescal | | | | | 4 | C Maujean | F Bronkhorst | All wins have come going right handed but hasn't won for a while; upped to 7f in a handicap last month (Vaal) when beaten a fair way (22l); unlikely to make a serious impact as facing a tougher assignment this time | ||

3rd (4)  John Wick | | | | | 3 | S Khumalo | F P Habib | Struggled a bit in handicaps recently; finished sixth but wasn't beaten too far (4l) over this trip (handicap) last month in reapplied blinkers; the assessor relents a little | ||

2nd (7)  Munchkin | | | | | 4 | R Danielson | M N Houdalakis | Has been consistent of late and not too far away when seen at this course last month; finished fourth but only beaten 2l in a handicap two weeks ago at Vaal Classic; sets clear standard if replicating most recent run | ||
| (2) Turbo Power | | | | | 4 | K Matsunyane | S G Tarry | Been running well of late; not beaten far when runner-up (this distance Turffontein Standside, handicap) last month; should not be far away |
MUNCHKIN is a strong pick. He has been running consistently well of late. Circus Lights has run well previously over this course and distance while Turbo Power will go well if repeating the sort of form they showed last time out, and Bob should be in the shake-up.
