NR	See It Again ch NON-RUNNER · Mike Roberts	NON-RUNNER · Mike Roberts	132	—	-04725	-	-	-	28d	—	—	—	3.5	—
Quite a while since he tasted success but has won five times here; fifth of 12 in the Gold Challenge last month.
NR (20)	Son Of Raj ch NON-RUNNER · Tony Peter	NON-RUNNER · Tony Peter	123	b	3-3197	-	-	-	98d	—	—	—	2.1	—
Came home seventh last month in race won by Immediate Edge at Turffontein in a Grade 3; a course winner.
1 (1)	Oriental Charm b Juan Paul V'D Merwe · James Crawford	Juan Paul V'D Merwe · James Crawford	132	—	11-722	-	123	-	28d	—	—	—	0	—
Has won here; had a bunch of these behind him when runner-up here 28 days ago; likely to go well.
2 (2)	Madison Valley b Gavin Lerena · Frank Robinson	Gavin Lerena · Frank Robinson	119	b	4-8701	-	127	-	28d	—	—	—	0	—
Had two of these in arrears when landing the Dolphins Cup Trial over 1m1f by a neck 28 days ago; specialist here with four wins but all his wins have been at a lower level; booking of G Lerena takes the eye; makes limited appeal despite that win last time.
3 (3)	On My Honour b S'manga Khumalo · Glen Kotzen	S'manga Khumalo · Glen Kotzen	117	—	157-43	-	127	-	28d	—	—	—	0	—
Gave good account in the Dolphins Cup Trial here last month, a race won by the reopposing Madison Valley.
4 (4)	Atticus Finch b Calvin Habib · A G Laird	Calvin Habib · A G Laird	126	tp	-90403	-	129	-	98d	—	—	—	3	—
Successful six times from 23 career runs; finished third, beaten just under 3l to Immediate Edge (was done no favours by the draw, Turffontein) in a Grade 3 last month upped to 1m1f.
5 (5)	The Real Prince b Craig Zackey · Dean Kannemeyer	Craig Zackey · Dean Kannemeyer	125	—	14-614	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—
Successful three times in his last seven starts; far from disgraced (beaten 1½l) in a Grade 2 when fourth behind Gladatorian in May; in with a shout based on the pick of his form.
6 (6)	Selukwe b Serino Moodley · Andre Nel	Serino Moodley · Andre Nel	119	—	2-5121	-	-	-	1019d	—	—	—	3.5	—
Wins have come at a lower level but has managed six wins from 23 career runs; he accounted for three of these rivals when in front by just over 2l two months ago in a Grade 3.
7 (7)	Rainbow Lorikeet b Diego De Gouveia · Candice Bass-Robinson	Diego De Gouveia · Candice Bass-Robinson	117	—	1-4154	-	126	-	182d	—	—	—	7	—
Successful six times from 20 career runs but all her wins achieved at a lower level; finished fourth in the Woolavington 2000 albeit only beaten 1½l upped to 1m2f 42 days ago; only filly in the race.
8 (8)	Pomodoro's Jet b A Mgudlwa · James Crawford	A Mgudlwa · James Crawford	122	p	231-11	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	0	—
Has done all his winning at a lower level but bidding for a four-timer; gained a just over 1l success in a stakes race at Turffontein in March.
9 (9)	My Best Shot ch C Maujean · Alan Greeff	C Maujean · Alan Greeff	117	—	-11111	-	-	-	—	—	—	—	25	—
Has won his last six starts but wins have come at a lower level; gained a just under 2l success at Fairview (dropped back to 1m2f) last month in a stakes race.
10 (10)	Immediate Edge ch Callan Murray · Mike & Mathew De Kock	Callan Murray · Mike & Mathew De Kock	117	b	111621	-	116	-	98d	—	—	—	18.5	—
Won a Grade 3 by 2½l at Turffontein upped to 1m1f when beating Atticus Finch (third) and Son Of Raj (seventh) last month; has made an impressive start to his career with four wins from six starts; is of interest.
11 (11)	Eight On Eighteen b R Fourie · Justin Snaith	R Fourie · Justin Snaith	126	—	2-1121	-	127	-	42d	—	—	—	3.5	—
Has recorded plenty of wins at this level and proven at the highest level; had a couple of these behind when a comfortable winner of the Daily News 2000 upped to 1m2f 42 days ago; definite chance.
12 (12)	Purple Pitcher b K Matsunyane · Robyn Klaasen	K Matsunyane · Robyn Klaasen	127	—	524369	-	129	-	28d	—	—	—	2.5	—
Proven at the highest level but not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last April); out of the money and beaten 8l in the Gold Challenge when behind three of these last month; may have to settle for supporting role as this is competitive.
13 (13)	Okavango b A Fortune · Justin Snaith	A Fortune · Justin Snaith	120	—	151143	-	123	-	42d	—	—	—	11	—
Third of six in the Daily News 2000 42 days ago; has won at this course; successful three times in his last six starts.
14 (14)	Confederate b Warren Kennedy · Fabian Habib	Warren Kennedy · Fabian Habib	118	—	12-112	-	132	-	126d	—	—	—	0	—
Beaten a neck when second at Turffontein over 1m (conditions race) four weeks ago; successful three times in his last five starts; must be respected.
16 (16)	Gladatorian b S Veale · Stuart Ferrie	S Veale · Stuart Ferrie	132	t	21-213	-	119	-	28d	—	—	—	0	—
Good effort in the Gold Challenge when a neck third last month; mostly consistent recently and season-ticket holder here with three wins; has to be taken seriously.
17 (17)	Royal Victory b M Yeni · N Kotzen	M Yeni · N Kotzen	130	b	6-3422	-	130	-	98d	—	—	—	0	—
Has been fairly consistent of late; a while since he's been in the winners' enclosure (last win last April); not beaten too far when second over 7½f at Scottsville (stakes race) 48 days ago, form which has been advertised since.
18 (18)	Native Ruler ch T Godden · Justin Snaith	T Godden · Justin Snaith	119	—	1-3494	-	124	-	42d	—	—	—	7	—
Held here 42 days ago by Eight On Eighteen when fourth of six in the Daily News 2000.
19 (15)	Litigation b Grant Van Niekerk · Sean Tarry	Grant Van Niekerk · Sean Tarry	119	tp	05-304	-	123	-	28d	—	—	—	0	—
Record shows he knows where the winning post is (wins-runs record of 8-39); finished fourth in the Dolphins Cup Trial albeit only beaten just under 2l four weeks ago, a race won by the reopposing Madison Valley.
