In depth

Verdict

Mike De Kock has been in excellent form over the past few weeks and he and Callum Murray have a fine strike-rate so BASSAM looks the one to be on. Runner-up here and at Vaal recently he has an ideal low draw and can get onto the score-sheet for the first time. Western Oasis was returning from a break when running well here early last month and should go well while Seven Patriots wasn't at his best at Vaal last time having won there earlier.
