An interesting runner who could cause the debate of what ratings(sand or turf) to run off on the Poly is Kingofmountain. He is a grass 55 and a sand 99. That means that if he reproduces his sand form on the grass then Chill is 22kgs out with him. I may as well run for 2nd! This could be interesting and if he does win, I can see a lot being said about it!

Started its career in Durban but had to go to Kimberley to win its maiden.
Have to include in P6 I guess cos surely you wouldn't travel all the way to Natal unless you had compared gallops on Poly and got an idea of potential rating thereon!!!! ....as you say Craig,even 20llbs inferior to sand should still be enough!

I used SUGARFORMYHONEY as a line horse and STONE REEVES and on that the raider has a big chance with CHILL but that form was ages ago and who knows how the poly compares with Kim Sand(We say that Poly form at Greyville worked at Fairview poly but Kim sand does not always work on Vaal Sand) Intresting race
