Duke of rock (9) followed up his maiden victory with a fair fifth-place finish over 1m on this course.That form has since been franked and he will love the drop to 6f.The blinkers on for the first time may do the trick and with piere strydom in the saddle, they may find themselves in the winner's enclosure.After hours (7) ran on well when winning his last start over 5¾f at turffontein.He is up in weight for that victory but s'manga khumalo retains the ride and the pair merit healthy respect.Ampersand (1) fought on bravely when fourth over this distance last time out.He drops back in class and will be mowing down the frontrunners.Watch for him late.Can win.Lulu's boy (5) is racing in good form.He has won three times and finished second once from seven starts over this c&d.He may be hard to peg back in this.Each-way value.
