His recent form in KZN was good. He returns to Gauteng and steps back up to the 2000m. He meets a competitive field, but he is in a good space and has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:73. Consistent form. Looked a winner in latest and can go close.

1000m – Santos Trade Afrik Middle Stakes
1 – Kings Road
Breeding: Vercingetorix – Kimberley Coast (AUS) by Danehill (USA)
Trainer: Clinton Binda
Jockey: Calvin Habib
Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 4 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He was in need of his last run when returning from a 25-week break. He is better suited to this distance and will strip a much fitter horse. We are hoping to see improvement in a competitive field.
Winning Form Comment: 2nd run after rest. Best MR:97. Drops back to minimum trip. Chance.

Race 3 – 13:15
1000m – Santos Trade Afrik Middle Stakes
5 – Iphiko
Breeding: Trippi (USA) – Valor Red by Western Winter (USA)
Trainer: Mike de Kock
Jockey: Richard Fourie
Wgt: 54.5kg
Draw: 2 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 2/1
She takes a massive rise in class and we also received a big penalty for her last victory. She won very well that day and will hopefully confirm the form. She jumps from a good draw of two on a course that suits her well. This is her toughest task, but she is in a good space and she has a winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:84. Has shown good speed with blinkers. Reeled off hat-trick in latest and has strong claims.
