He won a good race in his first run for the Syndicate last time. He is doing very well at home and is absolutely flying in his work. The inside draw doesn’t do him any favours but, on his work, and well-being, he has a big chance in this field.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Gelded 2022.11.10. Best MR:104. Nice type. Ran on strongly to win his last start.

He was a tad disappointing in his last start. He is showing nice work at home and is in a good space. Silent War from the Tony Peter yard is the horse to beat on form. Sporting Post-sponsored Jockey Athandiwe Mgudlwa is booked to ride and he is expected to run a good race.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:89. Tad disappointing last time. Chance on best form shown.
