Punters face a steep challenge at the Vaal on Thursday 28 March as it is a difficult card.
Three runners who could be worth looking at are Take Your Place in Race 3, Carnelo in Race 6 and Hillary Step in Race 8.
St John Gray-trained Take Your Place started at 50-1 on debut and was a narrow loser behind Across The Pond over Vaal 1200m on 7 March.
The Bezrin filly was very speedy under jockey Sean Veale that day and was only caught in final stride, going down by a short head.
Jockey Jason Gates replaces Veale and Take Your Place can go one better this time.
Carnelo let his supporters down last time out when well beaten over on the Turffontein Inside track on 14 March. He did have an excuse, however, as he was reported to be making a respiratory noise in running.
Carnelo was in good form before that and can bounce back to score in this MR 68 Handicap over 1600m on the Vaal straight course.
Gates, who rode him into third place in his previous starts, has been engaged once again to ride this five-year-old gelding.
Diane Stenger trained Hillary Steps has been unreliable so far but she was a good winner at Turffontein over 1400m on 25 February.
The Canford Cliffs filly picked up a four-point penalty that day.
Jockey Chase Maujean was replaced by 4kg claiming apprentice Trent Mayhew when scoring but it will be Maujean back in the irons this time around for this MR 80 Handicap for fillies and mares over 1600m up the straight.
