He showed some signs of a form return over 1200m last time and finished that race well. The inside draw on the Turffontein straight course is a bit of a concern. However, he is doing well at home and is expected to finish in the money.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:78. Is 2.5kgs better off at the weights with number 4 on latest. Watch.
