He overraced in his last start over this distance on the Turffontein Inside course and the blinkers have been removed. His penultimate run when second catches the eye. The son of Canford Cliffs is doing well at home and Winning Form-sponsored Jockey Kabelo Matsunyane is booked to ride. He meets the right field and has a good winning chance.
Winning Form Comment: Blinkers OFF. Best MR:76. The form of his last two runs is strong enough to win a race of this nature.
