1st (4) Groovejet
4J P v'd MerweJ S SnaithFinished runner-up of ten in June (Kenilworth)
2nd (2) Happy Days
3S VealeV H MarshallDidn't run too badly when out of the frame here (beaten just under 5l at 20-1) 41 days ago
(1) Heroic Power
4R KhathiP D ReevesBeaten 6l into fourth in June on debut for new trainer (Kenilworth); hard to fancy
(3) Amancio
4R FourieB CrawfordFinished well behind the sixth, Black Cherry, in a maiden plate (dropped back to 7f) three weeks ago when finishing ninth of 12; has shown signs of promise here and there and can't be ruled out
(5) Cosmic Rhythm
4O NoachV H MarshallStill seeking a first success after nine starts; upped to 7f last month on his first start for this trainer at Kenilworth finishing 10l behind the winner; is passed over
(6) Dreamalittledream
4L MxothwaB CrawfordBeaten just under 4l when fifth of 12 but didn't run badly at 20-1 in a maiden plate (over 1m here) 11 days ago
(7) Congressman
4C OrfferW A NelCreditable second (this trip Durbanville, maiden plate) six weeks ago; must be respected
(8) Wood World
3G Van NiekerkV H MarshallNot beaten that far (just under 5l, went off 10-1) six weeks ago here over 1m just ahead of Happy Days
(9) Black Cherry
5A DomeyerC Bass-RobinsonNo impression when sixth in a maiden plate last month (over 7f here) on his second outing for this trainer


This should be a competitive affair but the vote goes to AMANCIO who is fancied to reverse the placings with Black Cherry from last month. Black Cherry would be a threat if returning to form, Groovejet is likely to attract market support, and Congressman competes off the back of some good runs.

3rd (1) English Mistress
4A DomeyerC Bass-RobinsonFinished runner-up dropped back to 7f 32 days ago when only just held (2-5, Fairview), the third boosted the form since; should make a decent bid if building on last performance
(3) Style Icon
4T GoddenP BothaHard to crab her most recent performance (third of eight, C&D) six weeks ago
(4) Wedding Bells
4D AshbyP P KruyerLong-term maiden (0-13); not beaten that far (5l, went off 33-1) in an open race last month here over 1m (had two of these rivals behind); others perhaps more persuasive
(5) French Toffee
4C ZackeyW A NelCouldn't land a blow on her debut at Kenilworth in May (50-1); must step up
(6) Dymondia
4X CarstensP D WrenschWinless after 14 races; no impression when sixth of 11 in an open race here (1m) 11 days ago on her second outing for this trainer; others more appealing
(7) Lucky Thirteen
4O NoachL GilaFinished eighth, beaten 5½l, in an open race here two weeks ago; yet to win after ten starts; others appeal more
(9) Darling Girl
3K SteynP BothaFinished fourth but wasn't beaten too far (4½l) last month here over 1m; blinkers now left off; looks vulnerable with stamina to prove over this distance
(10) Welsh Starlet
3J SolomonsC Bass-RobinsonLast of 12 last month here (6f); can be taken on with stamina to prove at this trip


Style Icon and Lavender Bay merit consideration, and Lady Springfield rates a serious threat. However, ENGLISH MISTRESS has an obvious shout. She has seen the form of her latest run franked.

2nd (3) Pacaya
6R FourieJ S SnaithSecond of eight, beaten 9l, when favourite in May (Kenilworth); has won previously at this course; down in grade; cannot be ignored
(1) Love Is A Rose
5C OrfferG W EnnionSolid career strike-rate; went down by 2½l when runner-up in a fillies Listed race (at Kenilworth over this trip) in May; the only mare in the race; down in grade; is of interest
(2) Sachdev
8S VealeJ S SnaithHas winning form at this course; respectable sixth in June (Kenilworth); others appeal more
(4) Rockpool
5C ZackeyJ S SnaithPlenty of wins on his CV; safely held in ninth (this trip, Kenilworth, Grade 2) in January; returns from a layoff; this is a step down in class although not hard to turn elsewhere
(6) Grinkov
5O NoachG S KotzenNot disgraced in eighth at 66-1 in a Listed race 37 days ago (Greyville); dropping in class but not hard to look elsewhere
(7) Otto Luyken
5J P v'd MerweG Van Zyl (jnr)CD winner including when successful by a head three weeks ago; likely to be thereabouts


This is an interesting race; Love Is A Rose isn't out of it but the suggestion is PACAYA who is going for a second success at this trip and can show that a below-par effort last time was just a blip. Otto Luyken has won over course and distance.

(7) Gentleman Joe
6C OrfferW A NelDidn't run too badly when out of the frame at Kenilworth (beaten 3½l at 14-1) last month; form boosted by the first going in since; a course winner but largely disappointing since successful in an open race at Kenilworth in December; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role

(10) Gimme More Time
5A DomeyerJ S SnaithReady success latest (Fairview), the third boosted the form since


This looks a competitive affair. King Pelles is a course winner and warrants respect while there should be plenty of market support for Daimyo. However, BLUE BAY can land this. He is taken to confirm placings with Call To Unite and Coronation Time.

Song To The Moon ran well last time, and Sail The Seas is likely to attract market support. However, KELP FOREST is hard to look beyond. He didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since) and has won three times at this distance.

LADY LOXTON can be superior to her rivals. She didn't do much wrong last time (form has been boosted since). This distance may be a bit longer than Veronique wants while CD winner Cattaleya is respected, and Look Forward rates a serious danger.

This is not a race for maximum stakes but RIVERSTONE gets the vote. He should have more to offer with his low mileage and is of interest if excusing his most recent run. Gimmelightning should be on the shortlist, Dumbledore has claims even though he is on a long losing run, and Speed Racer should put up plenty of resistance.
