His form has been consistent, and he is in a good space. He does take a rise in class but carries a nice weight of 55.5kgs. S’manga Khumalo is booked to ride and with a bit of luck from his awkward draw of eight, he should be in the money.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:85. The 3rd horse in latest has come out and won since. Respect.

Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:86. Needed latest. Interesting Jockey booking.

Trainer: MJ Odendaal
Jockey: *Blaine Marx-Jacobson -4.0kg
Wgt: 61.5kg
Draw: 7 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He has been disappointing in his last five starts. The son of Querari gets the blinkers fitted for the first time and his work with the headgear fitted was promising. 4kgs claiming Apprentice Blaine Marx-Jacobson rides and the stable makes him a danger.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Blinkers ON. Best MR:80. Has dropped steadily in the ratings. Watch.
