Jockey: *Sifisokuhle Bungane -4.0kg
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 7 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
His last run is best ignored as he didn’t enjoy racing in the soft conditions. The son of Erupt steps up to 1400m and the blinkers have been removed. He drops to Class 5 and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he can finish in the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers OFF. Best MR:82. Has dropped steadily in the ratings since maiden win. Can improve.
