He has had a great preparation and everything has gone to plan. The stable feel that the only negative is that he has not had another run going into this race. Winning Form-sponsored jockey Keagan de Melo is booked to ride and a big run is expected.

She has been struggling to regain the form that she showed in Gauteng and Cape Town. Although she has not been beaten far, she has not fired like she can. She has a poor draw to overcome, and we are hoping to see her produce her best.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:109. Ran in a Grade 2 last time. Is very quick out of the gates and won only C&D attempt.
