He ran a good race when second in his comeback run, just over a week ago. He has come through that outing well and he is doing nicely at home. If this run has not come too soon, he should be involved at the finish.

2400m – Allied Steelrode Java Stakes (Listed)
7 – Trois Trois Quatre

Trainer: Mike de Kock
Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 54.0kg
Draw: 5 (10 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 7/1
He meets a competitive field but carries a handy galloping mass of 54kgs. The son of Rafeef should have no issues with the step up to 2400m. S’manga Khumalo is booked to ride and a big run is expected from a handy draw of five.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:87. Is 4kgs better off at the weights with number 3 on latest. Consider.
