Trainer Mike De Kock could have a very good chance of winning the Dingaans with NOAH FROM GOA. He steps up in distance. On the evidence of his latest two starts over shorter, he should see out the extra with some ease. This will be his fifth race in two and a half months. Jockey and draw will be to his advantage.

The Mike Azzie trained ABASHIRI hasn't run since running a close up third to the classy stable companion, RABADA on Gold Cup Day. Both runs were at Greyville, the last run was against stronger and he makes his debut in his home town this afternoon. He has been lightly raced and has run only twice, having made his debut at the end of May. This will also be his first run since gelding. Finished well in both starts.

Justin Snaith is a promising three year old. He is still improving and this will be his biggest test to date. He has a tendency to be slow to go but does finish well. The yard is doing well in Johannesburg and expect a good run from this Australian bred colt.

BULL VALLEY was his first two races impressively and was not disgraced last time against a competitive field. Could earn a place cheque. He is unbeaten when Craig Zackey has ridden him with two from two. The Dominic Zaki yard has been in form.

RIKITIKITANA finished behind RABADA on Gold Cup Day. Should have more to find. First run in Johannesburg Respect the Sean Tarry and S'Manga Khumalo combination.
