He has progressed nicely since his first run in Cape Town and he is a lot fitter. It is an open race with numerous horses having decent winning chances and he must overcome the widest draw. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa is booked to ride and we are hoping to see a form return.
Winning Form Comment: Ex Wright AJ-2024.11.17. Best MR:85. Poor latest. Needs luck from the widest draw.
