He returns from a short nine-week break and is having his first run for the Gary Rich stable. He has been putting up some nice work, but this will be a learning experience for the yard. He is likely to need the run, and this outing will bring him on for future races.

Draw: 9 (10 Runners)

He needed his stable debut over 1100m at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. He has done a lot more work heading into this race and the stable are of the opinion that he will enjoy the rise to 1400m. There is a lot of speed in the race, and we are hoping to see an improved effort.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Sands AE-2024.04.30. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:83. Can improve on local debut experience.

Predicted Betting: 4/1
He has finished third in his last two starts for the MJ Odendaal stable. The son of Ideal World will be at his best over further, but he has cracked a good draw of three which is a big plus. He is working well, and he has a very good each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Kannemeyer D-2024.05.15. Best MR:72. Is 3kgs better off at the weights with number 8 on latest.
