LISTED AQUANAUT HANDICAP: AKII BUA has the form to beat the class of S'IL VOUS PLAIT

Once again Raymond Danielson rides the Mike De Kock-trained AKII BUA. He beat S'IL VOUS PLAIT last time at the Vaal. He has the advantage of a 3kg turnaround in the weights and looks to have the measure of him this afternoon. That winning margin of a short head looks to be in jeopardy.

Veteran trainer, Ormond Ferraris, sends out S'IL VOUS PLAIT who could benefit from a drop in class this afternoon when this son of SILVANO, takes on a decent field of stayers and hopeful stayers over 2450m. Two of his nine wins have been over this C & D. He has been running on of late and should go close again. Regular pilot, Weichong Marwing rides.

GOLD BANK takes on much stronger but with only 52kg on his back looks to be a danger. He has been finishuing well and with S'Manga Khumalo up for Sean Tarry, looks to be a useful addition to the exotics.

HENRY HIGGINS has placed this C & D and must have something of a shout. Usually runs on late.

ORCHESTRATED has some good form but against weaker. He may be anle to sneak a minor money payout.

1st - AKII BUA (4); 2nd - S'IL VOUS PLAIT (1); 3rd - GOLD BANK (12); 4th - HENRY HIGGINS (3); 5th - ORCHESTRATED (7)
