Predicted Betting: 16/10
He is knocking on the door and is doing very well at home. It is a small, but fairly competitive Maiden Plate. He is getting better and stronger with each run. The son of What A Winter should be involved at the finish.
Winning Form Comment: Best MR:82. Ran against winners in a Handicap last time. Chance.

Race 3 – 12:45
1200m – Equus Champion Owner Mrs G A Rupert Maiden Plate
7 – Griffin Park
Breeding: Querari (GER) – Pin Turn (GB) by Pivotal (GB)
Trainer: Mike de Kock
Jockey: JP van der Merwe
Wgt: 58.0kg
Draw: 6 (9 Runners)
Predicted Betting: 4/1
He has come on since his debut run at Hollywoodbets Scottsville and is doing very well at home. The stable feel that he will be at his best over 1400m, but he is capable of being competitive in a race of this nature.
Winning Form Comment: Brother to:FUTURE TURN4g(16: 4,11),ZIMBABA6m(13: 3, 6). Would have gained from debut experience in KZN. Can improve.
