He has taken his run in the Grade 1 Golden Horse Sprint well. We have a mountain to climb at the weights and merit ratings in this race. We haven’t tried the mile for a long time. He is in a good space and we are hoping for a positive run.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:119. Fair latest in a Grade 1. May be at best over shorter.

11 – Chimichuri Run
Breeding: Trippi (USA) – Spiced Gold by Kahal (GB)
Trainer: Sean Tarry
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 11 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He ran a good race when finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Golden Horse Sprint, last week Saturday. He has taken that run well. He meets a competitive field and has work to do at the weights, but he finished third in his race last year. We are hoping that he can do something similar and run a good race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:126. 3rd in this race last year. Cannot be ignored.

Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He moved nicely in his final workout and he appears to be progressing all the time. He is badly weighted, but may still be under the radar from a merit rating perspective. He is expected to put up a bold showing.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Gelded 2021.08.03. Best MR:103. Impressive win at Hollywoodbets Scottsville last time. Has ability.
