Jockey: Callan Murray
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 6 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/1
He won a good race over 1950m on this course last time. He’s come through that run well and is showing good work at home. The 1750m may be on the short side but he’s an honest horse and he should be involved at the finish.

He ran a good race when second in his first outing for the Wengesai Masawi stable. He’s come on from that outing and has had a grass gallop since the run. He jumps from a good draw of three with SplashOut-sponsored Jockey Callan Murray in the saddle and he’s expected to be right there at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Ex De Kock MF/MF-2025.01.31. 2nd run after rest. Best MR:82. Eye-catching first run for new stable. Respect.
