He takes his place in the first leg of the Nelson Mandela Bay Racing Poly Challenge. He is working well, and everything has gone according to plan heading into this race. Winning Form-sponsored jockey Richard Fourie retains the ride and he is the horse to beat.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:116. Beaten by a top sprinter in latest. Is the horse to beat.

Race 7 – 16:10
1200m – Nelson Mandela Bay Racing Poly Challenge 1200
14 – Silver Tycoon
Breeding: Silvano (GER) – Soft Landing by Jet Master
Trainer: Cliffie Miller
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg +0.5kg
Wgt: 53.5kg
Draw: 3 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
We expected a much better run in his last start, but he raced with his tongue over the bit and the jockey could not control him. The stable will change his equipment heading into this race. It is a competitive field and we are hoping for a positive effort.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:90. Tad disappointing last time. Drops in trip and chance on good prior form.
