Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a fifth at this track, beaten two lengths by B Fiftytwo at generous odds. His previous run was less convincing when second last in a Benchmark 70 at Greyville, beaten just under six lengths after easing in betting. The class drop and gear change give him some support, but others bring stronger recent credentials.

Broke through at this track last start, beating Forthegoodtimes by a neck in FM MPLTE grade over 1200m at generous odds. That followed a close fourth in Maiden company, so she is racing honestly enough, but her record around 1000m is seven starts for two placings. The last-start win earns respect, though she has to prove she can repeat it back at this sharper trip.

Disappointed as well-supported favourite at Scottsville last start, finishing sixth and beaten just over four lengths by Champagne Mac. The run prior was much better, when second at this venue to B Fiftytwo and beaten just over half a length after firming in betting. A proven track-and-trip winner with sound 1000m depth, he is entitled to rebound into the placings.

Made a much better return when third to Champagne Mac at Scottsville, beaten just under three lengths after firming from bigger odds. That was a clear positive after a heavy defeat in a Benchmark 66 at Vaal before a break, and his 1000m record of two wins and two placings from seven starts supports the set-up. If he holds that first-up form, he can run into the money.

Was expected to run well first-up at Scottsville but finished last, beaten just over seven lengths by Champagne Mac with no clear excuse. His previous official start was a win over Lenoxx in MPLTE grade, and his broader 1000m record is sound, but the latest effort was too plain to ignore. The gear change and class drop help, yet a much sharper second-up performance is required.

Finished ninth at this track over 1200m last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Navajo Dancer after drifting from opening levels. Two back he won here over the same trip, beating Kaapse Klopse by a neck, so his recent form is not without merit. Back around 1000m, where he has two wins and six placings, he has an each-way case if the latest run is forgiven.

Ran a strong race at this track last start, finishing fourth to B Fiftytwo and beaten just under a length despite starting as only an outside chance. He had earlier been fourth in RBH74 grade at Vaal, and his 1000m record of one win and seven placings from ten starts is a major positive. With the apprentice claim in play, he looks a serious winning threat.

Returned to form at Scottsville last start, running second to Champagne Mac and beaten just over two lengths at generous odds. His previous Benchmark 70 run over 1200m on soft ground was well below that level, but he comes back to a much more suitable 1000m profile with three wins and eleven placings from 34 starts at this track and distance. That proven record makes him the one to beat.
