Wgt: 60.0kg
Draw: 8 (8 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 5/2
Debut run. The son of Master Of My Fate has been showing nice work at home. The obvious concern is the widest draw of eight and this outing will bring him on nicely. However, we feel that he has each way claims.

Draw: 5 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 15/10
He made the natural improvement when winning his maiden over 1160m on the Turffontein Standside course. He is in a good space and should enjoy the step up to 1450m. A good run is expected, and he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Backed up odds-on status last time. Is progressive and will have plenty of followers.
