Verdict

Verdict

Consistent NKANDLA GOLD boasts solid recent form at this level off his current mark so should be competitive. Class-dropper SALUTE THE FLAG has references at a considerably higher level and represents better value off a reduced rating. COMING IN HOT and EHHFIFTEENKJOE could make their presence felt if confirming recent improvement. Hard-knocker PHALA MILLIONS and Highveld newcomer LUCKY SPIRIT appeal most of the remainder.
