VENERABLE is a Silvano-Captain Al cross and already showed potential when fifth at Scottsville. He should come on in leaps and bounds in his first try on the poly. BIM BAM BUDDY lacked a bit of early speed in that race but was not far off VENERABLE and he too could improve on this surface. BLESS ME FRED has not been convincing according to his form but his speed ratings suggest he has potential and now gelded, trying the poly with a 4kg claimer up, could surprise. TRITON, NEVERENDING LOVE and FOREST PHOENIX have drawn wide but have shown enough to be in the firing line.

If FLYING BULL takes to the poly he should make light work of this race with just 49.5kg to carry. The chestnut gelding is by Soft Falling Rain and he should relish the poly off the back of some good Highveld runs. DONALD MCDONALD carries 61kg and gives weight to all but is holding form and should be at a peak in his third run after rest. Can give of his very best now. MAGICAL MIDLANDS won a nice race last time and on pedigree should have no problem with the extra. But he has a bit more to do at the weights with COUP DE TETE and DONALD MCDONALD.

RED SOLE turned in a much improved performance on return from a rest and gelding, then backed that up with a second place behind promising Siya Vuma when switched to the poly. Looks the one to beat. ROYAL MONARCH was a bit disappointing after running third in a strong form race. But bounced back to best when beaten a short head on poly debut. He should make a race of it. MY LORD AND MASTER has done a lot better of late and may be looking for this distance. He is bred for it. Gelded BROADWAY could put aside disappointing form for his new yard. More can earn.

Subsequent winners have followed out of AIRWAYS LAW and SILVER STARDUST's respective maiden wins. Both won well enough to suggest they could be dangerous on handicap debut. And both have drawn well. JUSTFORTHEEPENNY has yet to win on the poly and has disappointed since a good maiden win. But he has also drawn well and should prefer this shorter trip. TEICHMAN is back on the poly and has dropped in the ratings. Could make them all gallop. FERRARI ICE is a strong finisher on the poly given the right pace. Front running DON'T TOUCH ME is out to complete a hat-trick.

Tough race - all are very capable. While GALLIC CHIEF is a handful he boasts high-class juvenile form and it wouldn't surprise to see him overcome his draw and win. He has a 4kg claimer up and being quite speedy could relish this shorter trip. Another three-year-old, COLD FACT, is as fast as they come and the Highveld-based runner could be looking for this surface. She does give away weight to quite a few, though. HERECOMESTHERAIN beat a nice bunch, including classy three-year-olds last time. He may be on the up again. VAR AGLOW, DANDOLO, VALIENTE and DI MAZZIO are not out of it either.

BIG EYED GIRL gets choked up in running but is nevertheless doing well. She enjoyed returning to this distance last time and could be even happier on the poly. Fellow three-year-old AUNT LIZZY won better than the margin suggested on her poly debut with blinkers and could make further improvement. DIAMONDS 'N DUST has only dropped a few points in the merit ratings but is back on the poly, and from a plum draw could prove to be dangerous. BINGIN BEACH has been off for a while but she showed promise in both races as a juvenile and must be watched. LADY CATHERINE loved this track - respect her.

GURU'S PRIDE is back on the poly and is the one to watch. The last time he raced on the surface he had valid excuses and having dropped a few points down the ratings it could be enough to see him succeed again. SNIPER SHOT ran an encouragingly last time and now has a light weight and the best of the draws. Can finally score. SOCRATES is another battle-hardened campaigner heading the right way again. He needs to overcome a wide draw. CHATTERTONS KEEPER has been hard to catch on the poly using frontrunning tactics but has a bit more to do. PETRA, LOVE BOMB and TREAD SWIFTLY can threaten.

MAIDENS PRAYER has been costly to follow but tries an interesting distance on the poly - it could be the right choice. She has a great draw too. BIRDWATCHER absolutely loves the poly and has secured the best draw again so can follow up. MATADORA'S PARADE should have relished a break and could come out firing racing fresh. She has drawn well and has a 1.5kg claimer up to assist her. PRINCESS SABRINA has run consistently well since finding form on the poly and won a nice race on the Highveld, but along with HEAVEN SENT, BOLDLY GO and ARIANOS SPINNER, needs to overcome a wide gate.
