He is returning from a 22-week break and the stable have opted to bring him back to 1200m. He is showing good work back at home and with S’manga Khumalo in the saddle, he has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Rested 22 wks. Would have strengthened up during time off the track. Should improve.

Draw: 12 (14 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 33/1
He ran a fair race on debut and has come on since the run. He takes a step up to the mile and should have improvement to come. He can run into the placings.
Winning Form Comment: Needed debut effort. Will love the extra 400m on offer and should make the natural improvement.

Jockey: S’manga Khumalo
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 4 (12 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 3/1
He is a nice horse in the making and has a bright future ahead of him. The stable feel that the 1400m may still be on the short side for him. He gets the services of S’manga Khumalo and has an each way chance.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:80. Fair post maiden run. The form of that race has been franked. Has plenty of scope.

Jockey: *Jeffrey Syster
Wgt: 59.0kg
Draw: 1 (17 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 20/1
He was disappointing in his last start over 1160m at Turffontein. It is a competitive field, apprentice Jeffrey Syster returns to the saddle and we are hoping to see improvement.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:102. Takes a drop in class. Can return to form.
