Represents top stable and course specialist (four wins); respectable effort at Vaal six weeks ago; booking of Craig Zackey takes the eye; capable of making an impact as recent display was promising.

Beaten 7l (seventh) 49 days ago upped to this trip; grade looks suitable; jockey booking heightens interest; has to be feared operating off a reduced mark and shown he can get his head in front.

Unable to land a blow in fifth at Vaal over 1m (handicap) last month; potentially well treated on his best form but hasn't won for a while; a few rivals look in good form so can be taken on.

Achieved only a sole win; could not manage better than seventh over 6f at Vaal (handicap) last month when just behind Cars Big As Bars; needs considering despite defeat last time as ran well at Vaal three runs back and she's been given a chance by the handicapper.

T: R R Sage
Fair effort when beaten just under 5l, finishing fifth of 15 over 1m at Vaal (handicap) last month; boasts a creditable three from 21 record at this track but subpar since successful in a stakes race at Turffontein last June; others more likely given the strong opposition here.

Verdict

This trip could be a bit far for Cars Big As Bars, and Satyagraha and Super Awesome are considered too. However, SUTHERLAND is a confident pick. He has been a winner at this track.
