He is doing well at home and has got quite a lot of speed. We are hoping that he travels to KZN well and that he takes to the polytrack. Keagan de Melo does duty and he should go close to winning.

Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Marco van Rensburg
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 6 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 1/1
He has finished second in his last two starts with the blinkers fitted. The son of Rafeef is doing well at home and is putting up some good work. He tries the polytrack and if suited, he should have an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:78. Brings attractive Gauteng form lines. Massive runner.

He is having his first run for the stable. This was an added race on the programme and the stable feel that this is a good opportunity for him to have a look at the polytrack. This run will bring him on for future races over further.
