4/6
Three wins from 12 runs last year. 3/1, didn't need to be at best when winning 8-runner minor event at Fairview (9.9f, good) 52 days ago by ½ length from Ablueazure. Has good chance on form.

6/1
4-time course winner. Didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap (3/1) at this course (9.9f) 24 days ago by 1¼ lengths from Mhlabeni. Not easy to make a case for.

Forecasts

Grazinginthegrass (4/6), Mhlabeni (9/2), Zig Zag (6/1), Peace In Our World (15/2), Jacob's Ladder (9/1), Ablueazure (25/1)

Verdict

GRAZINGINTHEGRASS just about gets the nod but it promises to be touch and go. Mhlabeni is probably the main opposition, while Peace In Our World is another that merits respect.

  1. Grazinginthegrass4/6
  2. Mhlabeni9/2
  3. Peace In Our World15/2
