Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 7th of 13 at this track in the G2 Dingaans on November 29 over 1600m, 8 len behind Trust with 60kg at $126. Second-up ran last of 8 at this track on December 16 over 1400m, 11 len behind One Eye On Vegas with 56kg at $17. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1600m. This much easier and looks a top chance.
