She’s relocated to the Eastern Cape and is having her first run for Dean Smith. She’s galloped on the polytrack surface and her work was nice. She’s fitted with the cheekpiece, and we’re expecting to see improvement.

He returns from an 11-week break and is working very well heading into this race. The son of Captain Of All jumps from pole position and we’re hoping to see him in a prominent position turning for home. If all goes according to plan, he can finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Van Zyl G-2025.08.01. Rested 11 wks. Best MR:82. Fair last effort behind subsequent winner. Chance.
