3rd (7) Sierra Sky
4S VealeK MitchleyOut of the frame when sixth last week in a conditional maiden; can figure from a handy draw.
1st (5) Elusive Hunter
4E WebberE KaknisWas held in fourth last week in a conditional maiden; producing solid form figures; still winless and defeats stacking up (16 on the bounce); makes limited appeal.
2nd (4) Ruby Claire
3C ZackeyG D SmithShown only moderate recent form; beaten 10l in sixth at Greyville 44 days ago in a conditional maiden; can give it a good shot.
(1) Poise Panache
6J GatesE KaknisShould improve with a run under her belt although it was only a modest start.
(2) Karoo Bokkie
3R FourieA C GreeffBeaten 9l in 11th last month with Very Var Var and Poise Panache behind in a maiden plate; has claims.
(3) Very Var Var
3S KhathiK MitchleyFinished towards the rear of 16 on her debut in course maiden plate over 5f at 100-1 last month.
(6) Mad World
4M V'RensburgZ OosthuizenRecent form is unremarkable; beaten 6l in sixth last month; in first-time blinkers; clear chance.
(8) Natural Wonder
3K MinnieJ V A StrydomFinished just behind Sierra Sky when last 11 days ago in a conditional maiden; recent form nothing to write home about and yet to open her account after ten starts; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.


Karoo Bokkie needs to be considered while Sierra Sky is well drawn and warrants respect. But MAD WORLD gets the vote. She could take some stopping in first-time blinkers.

2nd (5) Crimson Comet
3S VealeK MitchleyFailed to reward backers (9-4) when sixth two weeks ago splitting Take A Mulligan, Lord Capulet and Kamaria in a maiden; shown recent signs of improvement; likely to be involved.
1st (6) Lennoxtown
3R FourieA C GreeffBeaten 8l in fifth over 1m here (maiden plate) last Friday; lightly raced (this just his fourth race).
(1) Lord Capulet
4L MxothwaJ V A Strydom14th attempt to break his duck; last of five last week in a conditional maiden; is of interest as finished second at Fairview five weeks ago.
(2) Take A Mulligan
4C ZackeyG D SmithStill without a win after 14 starts but has shown some recent improvement; had four of these rivals behind him here over 1m1½f (maiden) when beaten 2l to finish second last month; leading claims as recent effort was encouraging.
(3) Kamaria
4D SchwarzJ P NelWas held in seventh two weeks ago splitting Take A Mulligan, Lord Capulet and Crimson Comet upped to 1m1½f in a maiden; has shown some ability on occasion and one to be interested in.
(4) Sister Midnight
4E WebberK MitchleyBeaten 7l into eighth over 1m1½f here (maiden, behind a few of these rivals) two weeks ago; still searching for first win after five tries; stamina to prove at this trip so others have more pressing claims.
(7) Dirty Mimosa
3D B GeerthsenJ V A StrydomFound life tough when 16l back in sixth over 7f here (conditional maiden) last week; she can be taken on.


Lord Capulet is beginning to look exposed while this distance might be a bit far for Crimson Comet and Lord Capulet. But it is hard to get away from TAKE A MULLIGAN. He makes plenty of appeal on the strength of a good latest effort and can confirm superiority with Lord Capulet, Crimson Comet and Kamaria who were behind him when last seen.

3rd (4) Querandi
4C HabibZ OosthuizenOne win to her name was achieved a fair way back; solid effort over 1m here (handicap) a week ago.
2nd (3) Gold For Africa
5E WebberK MitchleyRespectable effort (beaten 2l) in a handicap last month; a rise in the ratings to contend with; must go on the shortlist as recent display was promising.
1st (2) Get It Done
6L MxothwaS B KotzenOn target twice in her last three outings; wasn't disgraced when second of nine here over 1m (handicap) five weeks ago; holds leading claims with the potential to save ground from this gate.
(1) Light Of Day
5S VealeK MitchleyNot beaten too far when eighth at Greyville in a handicap last month; not a frequent winner; capable of making an impact operating off a reduced mark and she has posted some fair efforts in defeat in the past.
(5) Breede Baby
4R FourieA C GreeffBehind Hugsandhighfives in a handicap when last of seven last week; looking for the second success of her career; easy to oppose.
(6) Hugsandhighfives
5C ZackeyG D SmithJust the one victory on her CV; not beaten too far (just under 2l) 11 days ago in a handicap; can be in the mix given there's a paucity of good recent form on offer in this contest and her recent effort was encouraging.
(7) Vintage Crystal
4S KhathiK MitchleyHas shown some recent improvement; narrow success in a maiden plate last month to get off the mark; recent form is thin on the ground in this contest so should go close.
(8) Millennium Dancer
4S NaidooK MitchleyFinished ninth, beaten 15l, in a handicap last week upped to 1m3f; probably unlikely to trouble the principals.


GET IT DONE is hard to look beyond. She has been handed a decent draw and is going for her fifth course success. Light Of Day has run well previously over this C&D.

2nd (8) Meetatthewindsor
5X NdlovuA C GreeffAll three career wins have been at this trip; couldn't land a blow when seventh of 13 over 7f here (handicap) two weeks ago; not hard to turn elsewhere with this looking like a hot contest.
1st (5) Scampton
4L MxothwaS B KotzenFinished just behind American Dream when sixth over 7f here (handicap) last month; goes on the shortlist if replicating the best of his form and he's well drawn.
3rd (3) Guerra
4R FourieA C GreeffFinished in front of Meetatthewindsor and American Dream over 7f here (handicap) when on the premises, finishing runner-up at 6-1 two weeks ago; consistent lately; can make his presence felt if reproducing most recent effort and there is potential to save ground from stall five.
(1) Euphoric
9D B GeerthsenJ V A StrydomOut of the frame when fifth two weeks ago upped to 1m1½f in a stakes race; possible blip last time out as had been running well previously and goes very well here with four course-and-distance wins to his name; one to consider as the return to this distance should be more suitable and he ran well in defeat two starts back.
(2) Bronze Sword
5Y RamzanG D SmithComfortably beaten finishing sixth last month; makes limited appeal as this is a fairly competitive event.
(4) Lt Alexander
4M V'RensburgW G C MillerNot disgraced when fourth (not far behind Guerra) five weeks ago in a novice plate; on the shortlist if finding his best form.
(6) American Dream
6C HabibG D SmithBeaten 9l into ninth over 7f here (handicap) two weeks ago; can be a player at this level.
(7) Launch Code
4S KhathiK MitchleyFinishing runner-up was a good effort in a stakes race behind Meetatthewindsor last month.
(9) Fujisan
4S VealeK MitchleySplit Euphoric (second) and Bronze Sword (sixth) when beaten 7l (fifth of 11) 21 days ago.
(10) Wind Sock
6D SchwarzZ OosthuizenBrings plenty of winning course form to the table; came out on top by just over 2l here over 6½f (stakes race) two months ago.


GUERRA has an obvious shout. He makes plenty of appeal on the strength of a good latest effort and can confirm placings with Meetatthewindsor and American Dream, who were behind him when last seen. LT Alexander has run well previously over this C&D.

1st (1) Dowser
5L MxothwaS B KotzenSuccessful three times in his career; towards the rear of 14 49 days ago; definitely of interest from an inside gate which could lead to a ground-saving trip and he has been dropped in the weights.
3rd (4) Central City
5R FourieA C GreeffWas fifth of 11, beaten 10l, over 1m2f here (handicap) six weeks ago; his best form stacks up so he's worth a go.
2nd (7) Destiny's Angel
5C ZackeyG D SmithOn a hat-trick; unbeaten at this C&D after two runs; narrow winner of a handicap 49 days ago; this demands more than last time so can be taken on.
(2) Kingdom Of Heaven
5S VealeK MitchleySearching for his fourth career win; was held in ninth with Dowser and Dubai Hills behind 49 days ago; should figure.
(3) Tirpitz
6K MinnieA C GreeffLast of 11 over 6f here (handicap) in June; not hard to turn elsewhere.
(5) Catch The Tune
6C HabibG D SmithNo impression when seventh of nine over 1m3f here (handicap) two weeks ago; useful in this grade; goes on the shortlist if reproducing form of his win three starts back and he's well drawn.
(6) Dubai Hills
4X NdlovuA C GreeffNot really built on success in a handicap in February at Turffontein; finished behind El Romiachi when tailed off (dropped a few pounds since) last month; passed over despite this looking a little easier than last time.
(8) El Romiachi
8D SchwarzZ OosthuizenWas sixth of 13, beaten 7l, over 7f here (handicap) last month; course specialist (four wins) but has lacked consistency of late; unlikely to achieve more than just a supporting role.


Catch The Tune is an interesting contender with an ideal draw while Kingdom Of Heaven and Catch The Tune have won over C&D. But CENTRAL CITY gets a firm vote. He has won here once before.

1st (2) Holocene
4K MinnieA C GreeffWas fifth of nine, beaten 6l, over 6½f here (novice plate) last month; is of interest from this advantageous starting berth and has been on the scene in the recent past.
2nd (1) Travel Master
7R FourieA C GreeffLikes it here (three wins); posted respectable effort when beaten 1½l five weeks ago; has been handed a nice draw so big chance.
3rd (5) Guarding The Wall
4L MxothwaS B KotzenJust the one victory on his CV; ran a bit below expectations (sent off 4-9) when third last week in a stakes race.
(3) Winning Captain
5D SchwarzJ V A StrydomBeaten fifth of six when close behind Guarding The Wall last week in a stakes race; this line-up contains some strong opposition so others more appealing.
(4) James Fitzjames
3C HabibG D SmithScored by a slim margin in a maiden plate, breaking his duck at the sixth time of asking when back to 6½f last month.
(6) King's Sailor
3M V'RensburgJ P NelBest form so far in last two starts; snapped losing run last month over 6½f here (maiden), scoring by 2½l; despite that Fairview success, easy enough to take on.
(7) Duke Of Orange
6C ZackeyG D SmithHas won three times here; finished sixth in July albeit only beaten 2½l over 6f (handicap); one to note.
(8) Great Times
6D B GeerthsenJ V A StrydomNot beaten that far in fifth (just over 4l) over 5f here (handicap) last week; quite a while since he tasted success; a few rivals look in good form so not easy to fancy.
(9) Captains Walk
6S VealeK MitchleyFinished towards the rear of 13 two weeks ago; this looks a fair heat so not easy to fancy.


James Fitzjames should be on the shortlist, and Duke Of Orange rates a serious danger to the tip. However, TRAVEL MASTER has an obvious shout. He has '1's in the formstring and has won three times at this venue previously.

1st (8) Tuscan Gold
5C HabibG D SmithUseful at this level but form is hit and miss; last of nine over 5f here (handicap) behind Bethel, five weeks ago.
2nd (1) Donny Tee
4Y RamzanG D SmithWon a novice plate by just over 1l 35 days ago; the draw has been kind so likely to be involved.
3rd (3) Siberian Steel
5R FourieA C GreeffHe meets the required standard ability wise; finished in front of On The Road Again and Transact when beaten 4½l in fifth 49 days ago; has to be feared operating off a reduced mark and shown he can get his head in front.
(2) Whatever Next
6K MinnieA C GreeffNot disgraced in seventh last month; slumped a bit since winning a handicap at Fairview in January but a prolific winner over this C&D.
(4) Transact
6L MxothwaS B KotzenComfortably beaten finishing ninth when close behind Whatever Next last month; form has an up and down look to it and not won for some time now; this looks a fair heat so has questions to answer.
(5) Bethel
6M V'RensburgW G C MillerWinner of four races at this venue; narrow winner of a handicap last month; competing off a higher mark; more on his plate but needs consideration.
(6) European Summer
6J GatesE KaknisOut of the money, beaten just under 3l, when fourth here over 5f (handicap) last month; an infrequent winner but grade looks suitable; the only mare in the race; not dismissed.
(7) On The Road Again
6X NdlovuA C GreeffNot disgraced when sixth of eight 49 days ago; finished ahead of Transact but was behind Siberian Steel.
(9) Abound
4S VealeK MitchleyFinishing third was a good effort 21 days ago in a graduation plate; quite a while since he tasted success.
(10) Strawberry Stinger
4C ZackeyG D SmithUnable to land a blow when eighth of 11 over 7f at Greyville (handicap) in June; not seen the winners' enclosure for a while now (last win last June); Craig Zackey a good booking; probably unlikely to trouble the principals given many of his rivals are in good form.
(11) Swiss Walt
4D SchwarzZ OosthuizenFinished sixth, beaten 5½l, two weeks ago.


SIBERIAN STEEL is a firm selection. He is taken to confirm placings with On The Road Again and Transact and has proved he can get his head in front. Donny Tee has run well previously over this C&D.

2nd (11) Absolu Noir
8E WebberE KaknisOn a good mark based on best form; far from disgraced (beaten 3l) over 6f here (stakes race) last week; this looks a fair heat so others appeal more.
1st (7) Seattle Ripper
4S KhathiK MitchleyFair effort (beaten 1½l) when behind the reopposing Knockemstiff last week.
3rd (6) Cruzador
6C HabibG D SmithBetter than this level in his prime and potentially on a good mark; respectable effort when behind the reopposing Knockemstiff 11 days ago; big chance as recent effort was encouraging and the handicapper has given him a chance.
(1) Thing Called Love
4R FourieA C GreeffTowards the rear of 16 here over 6f (handicap) 49 days ago (been dropped a bit); searching for her second career win; notable jockey booking; competitive shout if duplicating the form of her last win and dropping in class.
(2) Jade's Caberneigh
5C ZackeyG D SmithFinished just behind Lady Camper when towards the rear here over 6f (handicap) last month; knows how to win here; Craig Zackey a notable jockey booking; inside gate could lead to a ground-saving trip so she isn't without hope.
(3) Knockemstiff
4L MxothwaS B KotzenHad two of these in arrears last week, scoring by 1l; now off a higher mark; must go on the shortlist off the same rating as for a previous success.
(4) Lady Camper
4D SchwarzD A McKenzieFifth behind Mediteraneangoddes here over 5½f (handicap) last month.
(5) Wordsworth
7M V'RensburgW G C MillerFinished last of 12 in a conditions race at Durbanville last month; shown nothing recently so he can be taken on.
(8) Russian Empire
5D B GeerthsenE KaknisCreditable third, beaten half a length, of seven in December upped to 1m in a stakes race; does not win very often; returns from a layoff.
(9) De Janeiro
4S VealeK MitchleyOne win to her name was achieved a fair way back; fair effort (beaten 1½l) when behind the reopposing Mediteraneangoddes over 5½f (handicap) last month; if she can build on her latest effort then should not be ruled out.
(10) Mediteraneangoddes
6J GatesE KaknisHad two of these in arrears when landing a handicap over 5½f by a head last month; off a higher mark.


This looks a competitive race - Knockemstiff, Thing Called Love and Jade's Caberneigh are C&D winners while Thing Called Love has a good draw and is shortlisted. However, CRUZADOR could be the runner to side with. He is a leading player based on the strength of his most recent run and can reverse last time's placings with Knockemstiff.
