He showed good guts and determination when winning his maiden over this course and distance last time. It is always a difficult task out the maidens and we are hoping for a positive effort. He gets the services of apprentice Brevan Plaatjies who takes the 4kgs off his back.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:78. Hard fought recent win. First run out of the maidens and can feature.
