Is first-up after a break of 11 weeks and has been in the money when fresh before. Finished off last preparation second last of 8 at Turffontein Inside November 13 over 1450m, 9 len behind Minogue carrying 50kg at $17. First up last campaign 14th of 17 at Vaal June 19 over 1200m, 13 len behind Flight Of A Condor carrying 60kg at $26. Sure to be thereabouts.

Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently 8th of 19 at Vaal on December 20 over 1475m, 6 len behind Wayne with 59.5kg at $6.50. The run before that won by 2.25 len at Vaal November 23 over 1600m defeating Frere Jacques with 59.5kg at $6.50. Better than that recent lacklustre performance suggests.

Returns from a 56-day let-up. At the latest run ran last of 9 at this track on December 7 over 1600m, 17 len behind Open Highway with 60.5kg at $13.50. Before that won by 0.6 len at Greyville All Weather November 16 over 1600m defeating Ragnar The King with 59kg at $4.30. Recent form not good enough.

Returns from a 43-day let-up. Last start 17th of 19 at Vaal on December 20 over 1475m, 15 len behind Wayne carrying 57.5kg at $26. The race before that 6th of 10 at this track on November 9 over 1600m, 6 len behind Dark Silver carrying 55kg at $2.50. Can improve on recent efforts.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 9 at Vaal on January 24 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Paul Revere with 50kg at $17. The run before that 2nd of 8 at Vaal on November 23 over 1400m, 2.25 len behind Grand Empire carrying 57.5kg at $13.50. Doesn’t need to improve much to salute.

At the latest run 4th in a small field at Vaal on January 15 over 1450m, 6 len behind I'm A Fireball carrying 55.5kg at $21. The run before that ran last of 9 at Vaal on December 18 over 1700m, 9 len behind Drumnadrochit carrying 57.5kg at $7. Made headway last time. Top chance.

Second run back. Comes off a 47-day let-up. First-up after four months 7th of 13 at this track on December 16 over 1400m, 4 len behind Storm Ahead with 59.5kg at $21. Previously second-up 4th of 9 at Greyville All Weather on June 25 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Rooster Bradshaw carrying 56kg at $5. Must improve significantly.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 43 day let-up. Most recently favourite; won by 6 len at Vaal December 20 over 1200m defeating Quickfreeze with 60kg at $1.40. The race before that 2nd of 19 at this track on November 29 over 1160m, 2.75 len behind Splittheeights carrying 60kg at $2.70. No reason he cannot build on that success.
