He has his debut here and the experience should bring him on nicely. With that said, he hasn’t shown too much at work so we’ll be looking for a reasonable debut.

He has gone off the boil since returning to racing this winter and it seems he may be coming to the end of his racing career. Having dropped in the ratings he has a nice opportunity to show some improvement from a plum draw. Under the circumstances, we may have to consider our options with this son of Noordhoek Flyer should he not finish closer to the winner this time around.
Winning Form Comment: 3rd run after rest. Best MR:82. Better than his last two runs.
