GO FOR BROKE (2) sets the standard through exposed form, having placed at two of three and gone within just over half a length at Turffontein Inside before a Vaal third as very short odds-on favourite, with an awkward action noted late. VISION OF GOLD (13) has the sharper upside off a debut third here over 6f, beaten just over a length after firming in betting, and her family profile adds substance. MULHOLLAND DRIVE (3) has not finished as close lately, but she has been kept safe in open markets and draws to get every chance from barrier two. RESOLUTE BAY (9) is the key debutante, backed by Sean Tarry and Keagan De Melo, with G3-placed Finding Camelot in the family to give her an each-way profile.

THE BUFFALO (15) is the top pick despite a plain first-up finish, with the market move around him at Vaal suggesting more was expected than ninth over 5f. He has been freshened, gets to 6f second-up and finds a race where improvement can quickly change the picture. SENDAI (1) resumes off mixed 7f form, but he has placed twice in the past 12 months and his best figures make him a serious fresh chance if he overcomes the wide draw. FREDERICO CAGISHAS (11) was backed on debut before finishing seventh, so natural improvement from a Tony Peter-trained three-year-old keeps him right in the contest. SMUGGLER (2) returns from eight months off after a firming-favourite fourth here over 1m, and that exposed form gives him enough substance to win fresh.

TROMPE L'OEIL (1) is the one to beat after missing by only a head in a GPLATE here last start, and his Vaal record of two wins and a placing from three visits gives him the strongest overall profile. The one blemish was his Turffontein Inside failure two back as favourite, but he bounced straight back and looks well placed in this grade. WHATSDAMATTERWITHU (7) is the main danger, bringing a half-length second in a 3yo Handicap and strong 6f credentials with two wins and a placing from four attempts. SANDS OF VALHALLA (2) has the right third-up platform and returns to a proven track after a fair G2 run two starts ago, though he was beaten just under five lengths as favourite last time. GONE COLD (3) resumes off a dominant Turffontein Standside win and has never missed a place, so he has to be respected despite the five-month break.

NKANDLA GOLD (1) is the clear horse to beat after beating Bell Of Angelus here in Open grade by just over two lengths, having already run fourth to Navaseven at Turffontein Inside when beaten just under two lengths. His Vaal 6f record is a major asset and the recent form is stronger than most of these bring. DARING ACT (8) has not fired at his past two, but he gets in light, drops from Open grade and has prior winning form within the past 12 months, so he is the danger if the freshening sharpens him. BELL OF ANGELUS (7) was well found last start when fourth behind Salute The Flag and her second to Nkandla Gold two back ties her directly into the main form line. GOD'S COUNTRY (2) comes off a narrow MPLTE win over Golden Slipstream here and has a small but positive track-and-distance profile, though he has to prove that long-odds result was not a one-off.

TAKING A RISK (4) has the most reliable recent profile, coming off a Benchmark 72 second at Turffontein Inside where she was beaten just over a length after being near the top of betting. Her previous Benchmark 74 second at Vaal adds depth to the case, and she has repeatedly placed at this track and distance. TIME TO FIRE (3) is the danger after winning an MPLTE here by just over half a length, though the market missed him completely and his run prior was plain. ECHOES OF WAR (8) ties into Taking A Risk through the same Sergeant Soqrat race and has enough track form to hold place claims if sharper. USHOULDBEDANCING (6) has been below her best at 6f, but the class drop and return to a more suitable setup give her a realistic minor-money profile.

SECRET CHORD (1) gets the nod after putting together a second to Prince Of Kildare in Benchmark 96 grade and a last-start win at Turffontein Inside, where he beat Lost For Words by just under two lengths. His Vaal record and proven distance profile give him the most reliable winning case. MASTER CHRISTMAS (4) is the clear danger, having chased Secret Chord home here last time when well-supported, and his track-and-distance record keeps him right in play despite having to turn that result around. COMMAND PILOT (8) has the weight relief and fourth-up platform to improve on a well-backed fifth in Benchmark 96 company, with his Scottsville placing two back reading better. MASTER SPY (2) resumed with a sound third over 6f at Vaal and is back to a trip he has already won over, so he profiles as a genuine place threat with some upside second-up.

FEAST OF BERRIES (8) is the one to beat on the strength of a lightly raced profile that already includes a win and a placing from three starts, plus a proven record at the distance. She resumes after closing last campaign with a Turffontein Inside win as favourite and has the scope to take another step. GLAMOROUS LADY (5) brings the strongest recent higher-grade reference, finishing fifth in FM Benchmark 91 company when beaten just over two lengths at big odds, and she is better placed now. SWORD OF LIGHT (9) is the in-form danger after a three-length win at Vaal and a consistently competitive season. XTATIC (10) has to rebound from a plain 1 ⅛m run, but her Vaal second two back and return to a winning distance keep her in the mix for a minor upset.

SEA SHANTY (3) is the one to beat on the strength of two solid Benchmark 74 runs at Vaal, beaten a length and a half into third over 1m before another close fourth here. He is proven at the track and distance and brings the most reliable recent profile of the main hopes. PEARL IN HER CROWN (7) bounced back sharply when fourth in Open grade at Turffontein Inside at long odds, and her Vaal 7f record keeps her firmly in the mix despite the plain run behind Sea Shanty two starts ago. NOBLE SAINT (4) has the upside angle after winning a 3yo MPLTE by three and a half lengths here as a heavily backed favourite, though barrier 14 raises the assignment. PROPER (8) resumes after winning over 1m at Turffontein Inside as an odds-on favourite, and while he comes back in trip, his light profile and winning rider give him genuine claims fresh.

Resumes after an odds-on maiden win over 1m. Back in trip is the query, but the profile is still one of the stronger ones.

Narrow second two back gives him a case, but last start was plain at Vaal. Weight relief helps without making him a main hope.
