LUCKY LAD (2) returns from a break of three months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second over 6f at Greyville. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. COUSIN CASEY (1) resumes from a lay-off of three months after closing off last campaign with four consecutive minor placings. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Expecting a bold showing. RED BOMBER (7) finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 5f at Turffontein Inside on September 14. Has a terrific record here with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. One of the contenders. CAPTAIN PEG (8) is close to a win based on recent form, the latest effort a commendable third against better opposition over 7¼f at Group 2 level at Turffontein Inside. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and deserves respect.
