      Verdict

      A tough race to call here for punters with very little between many of the leading lights but the principals look to be Bafana Boy,Manbow and Notanotherdonkey and the narrow vote is given to Bafana Boy. The selection won well last time out when beating Tell Henry and although rising in the weight he looks progressive and he is taken to win again. Manbow rates the main danger as he beat Mandingo Chief with plenty in hand last time out. He loves this course and will not be far away. Notanotherdonkey is another that could go well on his latest second behind Special Conquest. He looks sure to come on for that run and should be watched in the market. Clemax's best form is with more cut in the ground while Undeniable looks weighted up to his best and for the winner we return to Bafana Boy.
