Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 4 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He steps up in trip to a mile with Sporting Post sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa retaining the ride. He’s a difficult horse at home and does not show much in his work. The stable is hoping the mile trip and the change to the polytrack will help and he can improve on his debut effort.
Winning Form Comment: Had excuses in first run. Can improve.
