She ran a good race when second over 1600m on the turf last time. She is working very well at home and SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Siphesihle Hlengwa retains the ride. She is full of herself and a good run is expected.

Breeding: Erupt (IRE) – Arissa by Silvano (GER)
Trainer: Gary Rich
Jockey: Chase Maujean
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 4 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 14/1
He has been disappointing since winning his maiden as he shows good work at home. The son of Erupt steps up to 1600m and we are hoping that this is what he is looking for. He jumps from a good draw of four and if seeing out the extra distance on offer, he should finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:82. Fair latest. Is capable of causing the upset.

He won a good race over this course and distance last time. He has taken that run well and is in a good space. He jumps from pole position and despite his big mass of 61.5kgs, he should be right there at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:86. Ran on strongly to win latest. Can follow up.

He needed his last start over 1400m on the turf. He steps up to 1600m and we are hoping that Chase Maujean, who has won on him previously, can switch him off early. If all goes according to plan, we are hoping to see him running on strongly and he is capable of finishing in the money.
