Trainer: Dean Smith
Jockey: Craig Zackey
Wgt: 62.0kg
Draw: 4 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
He was an easy winner in his last start over 1000m on this course. The son of Querari is doing exceptionally well and is fit. He does meet a competitive field but jumps from a good draw of four and we can expect another big run from him.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:118. Easy winner of latest over 1000m. The one to beat.

He takes his place in the first leg of the Nelson Mandela Bay Racing Poly Challenge. Unfortunately, he has a wide draw to contend with. He will be settled near the rear of the field and will be running on. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. We are hoping for a good effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:97. Was not beaten far in last two starts. Can show.

He drops to 1200m which is on the short side, but the stable has opted to fit him with blinkers which should sharpen him up. It is a competitive field with numerous horses having decent winning chances. This outing will bring him on for races over further and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers ON. Best MR:89. Finished third behind a decent sort in latest. Blinker strike.

Winning Form Comment: Ex Crawford J-2026.04.27. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:84. Narrow local debut winner. Don’t ignore.
