Breeding: Captain Of All – Pepperdine by Trippi (USA)
Trainer: Peter Muscutt
Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 11 (11 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He is in good order ahead of his race. Unfortunately, he is drawn widest in barrier 11 but there looks to be a lot of speed in the race and it shouldn’t be too difficult to get across. If repeating his penultimate run when second to Dave The King, he should be competitive.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:93. Unbeaten over this distance. The form of his penultimate run is appealing.
